Syed Nazmul Alam, Gulshan-2, Dhaka
I was shocked on hearing that Asif, a gold medallist in shooting, was beaten up ahead of a major tournament scheduled to be held in December. Under no circumstances an attack on someone like Asif is acceptable. Surprisingly, even though he wasn't involved in the incident, he was beaten up mercilessly.

And even if he was involved in the incident, for the sake of argument, considering the fact that he made every single Bangladeshi proud in 2002, and that he is set to take part in a major tournament shortly, he shouldn't have been treated this way.

We strongly condemn the incident and demand that the authorities concerned investigate the matter and take necessary action against the attackers.
