When Md Mohiuddin, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) at the capital’s Uttrat West police station, heard chases and counter chases started between protesters and police at the Uttra House Building area, he rushed to the spot by a motorcycle. Chased by a group of people, ASI Mohiuddin went to the Kuwait Bangladesh Friendship Government Hospital. As he arrived near the hospital, they started beating him.

Mohiuddin then fled to the kitchen of a nearby school and locked the door, but the protesters broke the door and he was beaten again. At one stage, he became senseless. Protesters then called an ambulance and sent him to the hospital. When the ambulance arrived in front of the hospital, having learned his identity, protesters attacked him once again, and he then ran toward the hospital and took shelter there.
