A traffic cop faces serious trouble after angry students demanded his arrest for Facebook comments about the July protests. Farjul Islam Roni wrote something that upset many people about the uprising that changed Bangladesh. Student activists blocked roads outside the police station and refused to leave until authorities took action. The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement gathered around 9 pm to protest the officer's social media post. Police bosses quickly pulled Roni from his regular duties and sent him to headquarters.
Kushtia police chief Mizanur Rahman told reporters they formed a special team to investigate the incident. Roni was taking time off when he made the controversial post that sparked public anger. Authorities canceled his vacation immediately and moved him away from traffic duties. The three-person committee will decide what punishment fits his actions. Student leaders promised to keep protesting until cops face legal charges.
Hasibur Rahman leads the local student movement and joined other activists at the demonstration. The group wants police to arrest Roni for his online comments about the political uprising. Inspector Sheikh Shahadat Ali confirmed they received complaints and followed orders from senior officials. Roni comes from Dahkula village and has worked Kushtia traffic patrol since last July. Police say final decisions will come after investigators finish checking the Facebook allegations.
