Allegation of Assault Against Taskin Over Friend’s Beating Resolved Through Undertaking

Staff Correspondent

National team speed star Taskin Ahmed was accused of beating up a friend while drunk, which created widespread discussion and criticism on social media. The matter has been resolved with a bond. Both parties have reconciled the matter. Although Taskin had been denying the allegations from the beginning.

Sifatur Rahman Sourav, a friend who had filed a complaint against Taskin, told the media that the complaint was withdrawn with the consent of both families by giving a bond. Now all the misunderstandings have ended. Sourav said, “The trouble started from a minor argument between friends. Earlier, I did not express my regret or withdraw the complaint. Today, we sat down as a family and resolved the matter. After reporting the complaint, we spoke with Taskin and his family. In terms of relationship, Taskin’s father is my grandfather. Our family also sat down for discussions. It was resolved today. If it could have been resolved earlier, it would have been done then. The situation was not favorable then.”

While wishing the best for cricketer Taskin, Sourav’s voice was clear with some anger towards his friend Taskin. He said, “Of course, he is my childhood friend. He has a lot to do for the Bangladesh team. I will definitely wish him well, but I know Taskin Ahmed as a player now. As a friend, I am a bit traumatized now (about this matter). I need to give myself some time here.”
