BFF’s Senior Vice-President Abdus Salam Murshedy briefed journalists on the outcome of the meeting this evening.
He said the measures were taken on the basis of a probe report on the attack of the BFF house. The federation formed the probe committee following the incident.
Murshedy added that newspaper cuttings, the long reputation of the club and its apologies for the attack were also taken into consideration.
Earlier on December 24, the BFF suspended Arambagh Krira Sangha from all football activities for an indefinite period.
