Injured detectives look to suing NSI men
The three suspended inspectors of detective branch (DB) of police have sought permission from the authority concerned for filing a lawsuit against the NSI men who caught and "tortured" them for an alleged bribery.
Earlier on Thursday the three detectives, who are now undergoing treatment at Rajarbagh Police Lines Hospital in the city, filed a general diary (GD) with DB office against the NIS men in this connection.
The DB authorities on the day (October 6) suspended the three inspectors--Shafi Uddin Sheikh, Ruhul Amin and Gias Uddin--after NSI personnel caught them while they were allegedly realising bribe money from a person in front of Holy Family Hospital in the city.
Four days into the alleged bribery, the one-member probe body could not make any headway as the bribery victim remained traceless.
The DB Chief Mir Shahidul Islam who leads the probe said, “We will not be able to justify the allegation until we can find out the alleged bribery victim. We have asked the officer-in-charge of Kafrul Police Station for taking steps to place the victim before the probe body.”
During a visit to the suspended DB inspectors at the Rajarbagh hospital yesterday, they said they went to the spot to arrest "criminal" Zahirul Islam Bhuiyan Jewel after one Awlad on October 4 filed a complaint to DC DB South that Jewel had cheated him with Tk 7 lakh on October 3.
They said as they reached in front of Holy Family Hospital on two motorbikes to arrest Jewel where he was asked to come, 10 to 12 persons swooped on them and slapped them repeatedly and took them to a microbus.
They said in the microbus, the persons blindfolded them and took to a room where the persons severely beat them up with sticks.
One of the suspended inspectors, Ruhul Amin, said, “We have already filed a GD in this connection and sought permission from the higher authority to file a lawsuit against the NSI men.”
DB chief Shahidul said On Sunday they served a notice to Jewel at his hospital at Senpara Parbarta of Kafrul and the doctors gave them a cell phone number of Jewel but it could not be reached.
However, after repeated attempt, The Daily Star could not reach the NIS personnel for comments.
