Three policemen including a sub-inspector were suspended on Saturday night in connection with the death of a 16-year-old boy at Char Kakra village under Companyganj upazila of the district.
The suspended policemen are Md Akram Sheikh, sub-inspector of Companyganj Police Station and his two constables, Abdur Rahim and Hema Ronjon Chakma, said Harunur Rashid Hazari, superintendent of police (SP).
On August 3, 2011, Kohinoor Begum, mother of the deceased Shamsuddin Milon, filed a case claiming that her son was beaten to death by villagers who suspected him to be a robber, in presence of police.
She filed the case with the Judicial Magistrate's Court against the police officials and two others--Jamal Uddin and Mizanur Rahman Manik--in this connection.
On July 27, six people, including Milon were beaten to death by angry villagers who suspected them to be robbers at Rahim Miar Tek area in Char Kakra.
A three-member probe committee led by Additional Superintendent of Police Md Mahbubur Rashid has also been formed to investigate Milon's death, the SP said.
The court also ordered the officer-in-charge of Companyganj Police Station to record the case as first information report (FIR) and take necessary steps in this regard.
