Case filed against Bangladesh Pacer Taskin Ahmed for threatening and physical attack

Bangladesh Pacer তাসকিন আহমেদ has tangled in a legal trouble as an alleged friend of him named Sifatur Rahman Sourave has filed a General Diary (GD) case – distinct from an FIR, more of a preliminary record – at Mirpur Model Police Station on Monday, accusing him of assault and issuing threats.

According to the Officer in Charge, the incident took place on Sunday night in front of Sony Cinema Hall, reports Cricbuzz. “Taskin allegedly called Sifatur to the location, punched him, and issued threats,” said the OC, citing the contents of the GD and added “Police are currently investigating the matter.”

Taskin Ahmed has denied all the allegations against him and said, “I can only say that the allegations are false and fabricated”. 

As the matter is still under investigation, the বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট বোর্ড chairman Iftekhar Ahmed has said that no action can be taken against Taskin unless he is proven guilty of the accusations. 

“Let Taskin be proven guilty first. There has been a case and it will be followed by an investigation. It is beyond the cricket board now. Taskin says that he is not involved in it. Now police will investigate it as there has been a GD. There will be an outcome and let’s wait for that”, Iftekhar said. 

As the chairman of the BCB, it was also taken under consideration that the entire team will be notified and given a workshop. “We are planning to hold a short workshop with national cricketers in August as we feel we must remind them what they can do and what they cannot considering they are not only cricketers rather they are also idols of many youngsters and are being followed by them so they have some accountability towards their fans,” said Iftekhar.
