Three policemen, including a Sub-Inspector (SI), were injured when angry villagers beat them for assaulting innocent men and abusing the musallis (devotees) at Alamdanga upazila in Chuadanga on Monday night. According to police and local sources, an eight-member patrol team of Almadanga Police Station went to the village Ruitonpur at about 8:30pm and challenged four young men sitting at a shop. They beat them mercilessly and then chased them. The four young men ran fast and took shelter in a nearby mosque where musallis were offering Tarabi prayers. They narrated the incident to the musallis. People came out the mosque and encircled the police team. Then police started verbally abusing the musallis. At that time angry people attacked the police team and caught three of them and beat them up while the rest fled the scene. After beating, people confined the three at a village house and informed the police station. Officer-in-Charge (OC) rushed to the village and rescued the police members. He also apologised to the villagers for the incident.
