Local Correspondent

Ismail Hossain Mridul, the general secretary of the Upazila Chhatra Dal, beat up a policeman in Parshuram, Feni. The incident took place in front of the office of Parshuram Government College on Monday (September 8) at around 12 noon. When the injured policeman went to the OC’s office to file a complaint, he withdrew the complaint at the request of the BNP leaders present.

According to eyewitnesses, DMP Police Constable Mohammad Rakib went to the Parshuram Degree Government College office on Monday afternoon to get his son admitted. At that time, Constable Mohammad Rakib tried to stop the commotion of Chhatra Dal workers who had been staying in the office room. Upazila Chhatra Dal General Secretary Mridul got angry and started punching and kicking Rakib. The college Chhatra Dal workers present pushed him (Rakib) out. Then, the injured police member entered the OC’s room to file a written complaint about first aid at a local clinic. He withdrew the complaint at the request of the BNP leaders present there.

A college Chhatra Dal leader who did not want to be named said, “We are embarrassed by Mridul’s behavior. The way he treated a guardian is not the party’s responsibility, it is his personal crime.”
Denying the beating, Chhatra Dal leader Ismail Hossain Mridul said, “There was an argument with a guardian. However, I do not know if he is a police officer.”

Police member Mohammad Rakib said, “I was beaten up in front of my child by boys my age. What is the use of complaining? I have left justice to Allah. He is a just judge.”

Parashuram Police Station OC Nurul Hakim said the injured police constable reported the incident verbally and did not file a written complaint.
