A parliamentary body asks the government to ensure exemplary punishment to the police personnel responsible for tarnishing the image of the police department.
Members of the cabinet committee on law and order yesterday came down heavily on police for torturing a Bangladesh Bank official and a staff of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), saying those incidents had tarnished the image of the department.
The Supreme Court yesterday asked the authorities concerned to accept the case if Bangladesh Bank official Golam Rabby files one over the alleged police torture on him.
Bangladesh Bank official Golam Rabby, who was subjected to police torture for bribe, has rejected the report submitted to the Supreme Court over the incident. “I did not do anything, they grabbed me by my collar from the behind,” he tells The Daily Star hours after the report is filed to the apex court.
Police tell the Supreme Court that Bangladesh Bank official Golam Rabby obstructed them from discharging their duties and scuffled with them during search earlier this month.
There is no legal bar now to file a case over the incident of police torture on a Bangladesh Bank official, says Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon.
Three cops including a sub-inspector of Uttara Pashchim Police Station are suspended over allegation of harassing a businessman and taking extortion money from him on Sunday night.
The Supreme Court has been requested to uphold the High Court order that directed police to record a case for police torture on Bangladesh Bank official Golam Rabby.
A full bench of the Supreme Court may decide on Monday whether the written complaint by Bangladesh Bank official Golam Rabby would be recorded as a case against the police personnel who allegedly tortured him.
