'Reason behind Siddiqur's injury will emerge after probe'

DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia

Staff Correspondent: Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia said how college student Siddiqur Rahman suffered injury in his eyes during the clash with police in the capital's Shahbagh will be known after investigation.

The DMP commissioner said this while talking to newsmen after visiting injured college student who is undergoing treatment at the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital in the capital on Monday noon.

He hoped that the key reason behind Siddiqur's injury will emerge after the investigation saying an investigation over the incident is being carried out.

Asaduzzaman said the authorities are looking into how Siddiqur was injured. He said they will also look into whether it was an act of sabotage.

“A teargas shell or a piece of stone cannot hit both the eyes at the same time. If his eyes are hit by a single object, his nose and forehead too should have been damaged. But his nose and forehead bore no injury marks,” argued the DMP commissioner.

Siddiqur fainted after he sustained a single hit, he said.

“How did he sustain the hit? It is a big question. The reason will be found out through investigation. We’ll look into whether any party carried out an act of sabotage here,” the police official said.

Referring to the progress into the investigation, he said CCTV footages of that day have been collected. We are also collecting evidences which went viral on the social media. If police officials are found guilty, then they will have to face punishment.

Siddiqur Rahman sustained injuries in his eyes during a demonstration on July 20 when students of seven government colleges, affiliated with the University of Dhaka, gathered at Shahbagh, demanding that their exam dates and routine be announced in time.
