A Jatiya Nagorik Party (NCP) leader in Chattogram has posted a Facebook video showing herself and several men beating a local laundry trader over alleged obscene online remarks.
The incident took place around 9:30PM on Tuesday (November 10) at Shapla Chattar in Tulatoli Nayabazar under Bakalia Police Station. The victim was identified as 38-year-old Khorshed Alam, who runs a laundry shop in the area.
Tania Amin, assistant organising secretary of the Chattogram city unit of NCP, uploaded the footage on Tuesday night. She captioned the video, "No disrespect to women; society grows stronger through respect. National Women's Power."
In the footage, Tania is seen slapping Khorshed Alam inside his shop while several men accompanying her also beat him. At one point, she shouts, "Where do you get the courage to make such posts? Why would you post things like this? They think women are weak. Don't you have a mother or sister at home?" A police vehicle arrives at the scene towards the end of the clip.
Tania Amin later posted a clarification on Facebook. She claimed she had uploaded a video seven days ago protesting a hike in gas prices. Khorshed Alam allegedly downloaded the clip and reposted it on his personal account with obscene comments. Although he deleted it after a warning, he posted similar content again two or three days later.
Speaking to the media, Tania said Khorshed misbehaved and tried to assault her when she confronted him. "At one point, we were compelled to raise our hands against him and later handed him over to the police," she said.
She added that they initially considered releasing him on a bond considering his family. However, police reportedly checked his mobile phone and found communications linked to programmes and sabotage of the banned Awami League.
Bakalia Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Shaheenur Alam told Dhaka Post that police rushed to the spot after receiving reports of an altercation over derogatory remarks against the NCP leader. Police then brought Khorshed Alam to the station.
The OC said officers did not witness any beating at the scene. Police subsequently arrested Khorshed after finding evidence of his involvement in the activities of the banned Awami League, and he was scheduled to be produced before a court on Wednesday afternoon.
