According to PBI, ASI Ashek Elahi took Raihan to the Bandarbazar police post on the charge of alleged kidnapping. The matter was stated in the statement given to the court by three officers who were at the outpost the night of the incident. Ashek was there when Raihan was picked up and tortured at the outpost and he was also there when Raihan was picked up.
Raihan, a resident of Akhalia Niharipara in Sylhet city, was detained at the Bandarbazar outpost in Sylhet on the night of 10 October and tortured. Raihan died the next day. In this case, if a case is filed under the Custodial Deaths (Prevention) Act, a city police investigative committee discovers the truth. On 12 October, four people, including SI Akbar Hossain Bhunya, who was in charge of the outpost, were fired and three others were removed. On October 13, Akbar escaped from police custody and took cover.
City police sources said that a three-member committee at the police headquarters was investigating Akbar’s escape. SI Hasan Uddin, who was at the outpost ‘TuIC’ post, was suspended on October 21 on charges of helping Akbar escape. Golam Kibria, a former police commissioner, was fired amid criticism of Akbar’s escape. Instead, the Special Protection Battalion (SPBN) DIG. Nisharul Arif was given the responsibility. On Tuesday night he assumed the post of commissioner of the Sylhet Metropolitan Police.
