Abdur Rashid, 75, and some of his family members were physically assaulted by a police team led by Sub-Inspector Ramjan Ali at their Rasulpur village home on Saturday night. Rashid’s daughter Rafiunnesa said that the team of police visited their house after a case was filed against her father over a land dispute. The complainants – siblings Munna and Abdul Mazid of the same village – also accompanied the police during the visit. Rashid’s eldest son Tariqul was arrested from the house in the afternoon, and was released in the evening. SI Ramjan Ali, however, denied the allegation, saying: “I was present at the spot, but no assaults took place.”
