Police officer Hasan Ali has been charged with beating to death a disabled rickshaw shooter in Rangpur. Hasan Ali and his wife Sathi Begum have been arrested amid protests by locals accused of killing the disabled man named Nazmul Islam (30). The incident took place in the Asratpur Courtpara area of the city on Wednesday evening.
According to the police and local sources, Nazmul Islam, a disabled man from the Mustafi area of Lalmonirhat, lived in a rented house in Idgahpara in Ashratpur. He used to rent a battery powered rickshaw because he had leg problems. The rickshaw belonged to Gaibandha resident Rangpur Police Training Center police officer Hasan Ali. He lives with his family for rent in Asratpur Courtpara. Nazmul had a dispute with Hasan Ali over the rickshaw on Tuesday night. Because of this, Hasan Ali severely beat the rickshaw shooter Nazmul. At one point, when his condition was critical, Officer Hasan Ali took him to his rented house (Hasan Ali’s). Locals began to protest after seeing Nazmul’s body hanging in the house on Wednesday afternoon. When the Tajhat police arrived at the scene, they were also cordoned off.
Locals alleged that after beating Nazmul to death, police member Hasan Ali carried out a suicide campaign by hanging his body. At one point, agitated locals began to protest by setting fire to the corner of the park on the Rangpur-Kurigram highway. As a result, traffic on that highway was stopped. Upon receiving the news, a high-ranking police officer along with additional police personnel arrived at the scene and controlled the situation around 7 pm.
The Rangpur Metropolitan Police OC Akhtaruzzaman Tajhat Police Station said the situation was under police control. He said preparations were underway to file a case at night, adding that police officer Hasan Ali and his wife Sathi Begum had been arrested in the incident. If the matter is investigated and the allegation proven, appropriate legal action will be taken.
