Four policemen have been withdrawn from their duties following the alleged assault on a Dhaka University student and two journalists during a raid at the Suhrawardy Udyan. The incident, which occurred on Monday night, sparked protests outside the Shahbagh Police Station on Tuesday. Dhaka University students laid a siege to the police station, demanding punishment for the policemen involved in the assault. A video circulating on social media showed a group of police officers indiscriminately striking Tofael with batons. He was later rescued by other officers and taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
