Chief of DMP’s Detective Branch (DB) Harun-or-Rashid today (September 12) said the attack on two Chhatra League leaders at BIRDEM Hospital on Saturday evening should also be investigated.

The DB chief while talking to reporters at his office claimed that suspended Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Harun might come under attack first.

He said the president's Assistant Personal Secretary Azizul Haque led the attack.

"If Azizul wished, he could have informed the higher authorities of the police. Instead, he called in some people and chased a police officer in front of many others inside the hospital, broke his glasses and hit him. I think it should be investigated," the DB official said.

The DB chief said that the police never take responsibility for personal activities of any of its officials.

"I think the investigating officer will independently investigate the incident and give a report. A three-member inquiry committee is conducting the probe properly and impartially. The investigation report will be submitted soon. Then we will come to know what happened."

On the other hand, ADC Sanjida Afrin wife of Azizul, who today said she went to Birdem hospital for treatment. As Harun was her colleague and in charge of that DMP zone, he helped her getting the doctor's appointment there. Her husband and some BCL leaders went there and picked a fight.

ADC Harun along with several other cops tortured BCL Organising Secretary Anwar Hossain Naeem and Science Affairs Secretary Sharif Ahmed Munim at Shahbagh Police Station Saturday night.

The government on Monday suspended ADC Harun from his post for his alleged involvement in the attack.
