Four members of the police force regretted their actions for assaulting a professor of Dhaka University (DU).
The police officials met with the DU vice-chancellor yesterday morning and admitted that the act was a mistake.
Officer in-Charge of Badda police station MA Jalil along with Ramna zone ADC Shibli Noman, AC Anwar Hossain and Officer in-Charge of Shahbag police station Sirajul Islam went to see the vice-chancellor with a written statement, in which they termed their act incorrect and inhumane and regretted the misdeed.
Shibly Noman told this correspondent that there had been a sheer misunderstanding and he hoped that the subject was settled.
He, however, denied the claim of asking for a pardon in the statement.
On August 6, Samina Lutfa, assistant professor of Sociology Department, was physically assaulted when she went to express solidarity with the Tuba garment workers, who were on hunger strike demanding due wage.
