Bangladesh seamer Taskind Ahmed has landed in legal trouble as there are reports that police have filed a General Diary (GD) against the right-arm seamer for assaulting a man in Dhaka. 

A report from Protomalo stated that the complaint filed against Taskin stated that the 30-year-old met his friend named Sifatur Rahman Sourav, and beat him up in Mirpur Model area. The incident occurred on July 26. 

The police have launched an investigation into the matter, and the local reporters and media houses in Bangladesh tried to contact Taskin Ahmed, but his phone was turned off.

Nonetheless, the BCB has broken the silence on the matter and remarked that they are conducting a separate investigation and added that it will be an unfortunate incident if Taskin is proven to be guilty of these accusations. 

BCB Director and Chairman of the Umpires Committee, Iftekhar Rahman Mithu, commented on the issue.

“I saw the news in the media this morning. Our officials, Aminul Islam Bulbul and Fahim [Nazmul Abedin] bhai, have also seen it. An investigation is already underway. If this really happened, it is very unfortunate. Icon players should not be involved in such matters. I don’t want to comment further until we know exactly what happened,” remarked Mithu speaking to Cricfrenzy.

Other News Portal Speak Something Else

Meanwhile, another reputed news portal, Jago News, reported that the BCB director spoke to Taskin and added that the seamer has remarked that he is innocent and is being trapped in this matter. 

"I am not directly involved in this incident. There was a fight between two groups of my friends. One side requested me to call the Mirpur Police Station, so I contacted the Officer-in-Charge (OC). As a result, the other side became angry and filed a GD (general diary) against me. But I had no involvement in the incident itself," remarked Mithu as quoted by Jago News.

The incident occurred two days after Taskin featured for Bangladesh against Pakistan in the 3rd T20I in Mirpur, where he took three wickets with the ball.
