Nayeem Hasan alleges police assault in Chattogram; BCB seeks investigation

Bangladesh cricketer Nayeem Hasan has accused police of physically assaulting him in Chattogram on the night of June 13 while he returned from Dhaka. Nayeem, traveling in an auto-rickshaw, claimed officers stopped him, behaved aggressively, and beat him with sticks and pipes despite his identification as a national player. His release came early Saturday morning. The Bangladesh Cricket Board condemned the incident and called for a thorough investigation, while fellow cricketers voiced their support for Nayeem on social media. He is included in Bangladesh's squad for the upcoming Test against Zimbabwe later this month.
