A leader's unbecoming behaviour
A leader of ruling Awami League (AL) abused and threatened two police sergeants when they were performing their duty on Dhaka-Tangail highway yesterday.
Police sergeants Mohammad Salahuddin and Abdur Rahim were measuring speeds of the vehicles plying the highway at Khudirampur in Tangail Sadar upazila in the morning and filing cases against the vehicles that broke the speed limit, police said.
As they stopped a Karotia-bound private car from Tangail for running over 100 kilometres per hour on the busy highway, the car driver told them not to file any case as district AL organising secretary is owner of the car.
The police sergeants, however, filed a case for breaking the speed limit in violation of traffic rules, police said.
A few minutes later, the AL leader came to the spot and asked the sergeants why they filed a case against his car.
When they told the reason for filing the case, the AL leader hurled abuses at the police officers in presence of many people. He later left the place on the car after saying that he will teach the two police officers a lesson soon.
Sergeant Abdur Rahim told this correspondent that he has filed a general diary with Tangail police station in this regard.
