Staff Correspondent
A mob yesterday beat up three policemen and turned them over to Shyampur police after they had gone in plainclothes to collect illegal toll from a three-wheeler garage at Rayerbagh in the capital. Nayek Nuruddin, 30, and constables Rafiqul Islam, 28, and Motiur Rahman, 28, from Razarbagh Police Lines Reserve Force went to the garage yesterday evening and asked for Tk 4,000 in toll from Billal Hossain, the owner of the garage, Shyampur police said. Billal refused to pay them toll and a heated argument followed, which drew local people's attention. At one stage, the mob roughed the policemen up before handing them over to Shyampur police. Billal filed a case under Speedy Trial Act against the policemen.
