On 6 July 2011, Farroque, the then opposition chief whip, had come under police attack in front of the parliament building when he was leading a procession during a strike called by BNP. Video footage showed Harun initiating the attack on Farroque during the scuffle on Manik Mia Avenue.
The incident sparked widespread debate across the country, with the police officer’s treatment of the BNP leader drawing significant criticism.”
