Asked why no such action has been taken against Kurigram DC Sultana Parveen and others over the same incident, Sheikh Yusuf Harun said departmental cases were pending against the others.

It is worth mentioning that suspension comes five months after the incident on March 13 where RDC Nazim Uddin, along with others, tortured, beat and jailed Kurigram journalist Ariful Islam after implicating him in a false case. If he had been suspended immediately after the incident, he would not have had a chance to defend himself.
