The BCL central committee’s organising secretary, Anwar Hossen Nayeem, and science affairs secretary, Sharif Ahmed Munim, and some others locked into an altercation with ADC Harun over a matter at Birdem Hospital at Shahbagh on Saturday evening.
However, ADC Harun managed to escape from there. After a while, he appeared at the incident site with police forces, took Nayeem and Sharif to the Shahbagh Police Station, and allegedly beat them roughly.
Around 1:00 am, they were set free from the police station and taken to the hospital for treatment.
It was learned that ADC Harun was chatting with a female police officer of the 33rd BCS batch at Birdem Hospital. The female official`s husband came to know about this and went there with Naeem and Munim. Her husband is also an administration cadre officer and a former leader of the Chhatra League.
Earlier on Sunday, Police Headquarters transferred ADC Harun to the Armed Police Battalion (APBn) from the DMP.
