The investigation committee has recommended departmental disciplinary action against three police officers. In addition, the committee has also made a seven-point recommendation to prevent such incidents in the future.

Two officers, Sub-Inspector Md Shafiqul Islam Bhuiyan and Constable Md Rasel Chowdhury, were previously suspended over the assault. Nayeem Hasan alleged he was detained and physically assaulted by individuals identifying as Detective Branch police officers on June 14 while returning home from a match. He also claimed that the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Khulshi Police Station, Arifur Rahman, asked him to remain silent when the Bangladesh Cricket Board president called about the incident. OC Arifur Rahman has since been withdrawn from his post.

Departmental action will now be taken in line with those recommendations.
