Two policemen, including an assistant sub-inspector (ASI), have been suspended over the killing of Begum Rokeya University student Abu Sayed during the quota reform protests on July 16.
ASI Amir Hosain and Constable Sujan Chandra Roy working at Rangpur Police Line were removed from duty due to their 'unprofessional conduct'.
Rangpur Metropolitan Police Commissioner Md Moniruzzaman confirmed the matter on Saturday.
In the wake of Abu Sayed's death, the police formed a four-member investigation committee on July 18, he said.
The committee submitted an interim report on August 1. Since the investigation initially proved the 'unprofessional conduct' of these two police officers in Abu Sayed's death, they were temporarily suspended on Thursday, the police commissioner said.
