Bangladesh Test off-spinner Nayeem Hasan has requested privacy and space as he recovers from the traumatic ordeal of being abducted and allegedly assaulted by police officers on Saturday.

Nayeem Hasan was allegedly harassed by members of a law enforcement agency in his hometown of Chattogram on Saturday.

The incident occurred late at night after Nayeem returned home following his final game for Prime Bank Cricket Club in the recently-concluded Dhaka Premier League, the country's traditional List A tournament, at BKSP in Dhaka on June 12.

Nayeem, who was picked for the upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe, appeared visibly shaken while recounting the incident after being released from police custody. He had been taken to the police station following the alleged assault.

Nayeem became the subject of widespread discussion within Bangladesh's cricket fraternity after news of his abduction emerged. Several journalists waited outside his home throughout the day, and when he finally appeared, he requested privacy and asked for some space.

"I need some space," Nayeem told reporters during a press conference at his house in Chattogram on Sunday.

"I am very tired and need some sleep," he said, adding that he had nothing more to disclose about the incident that shook the entire cricket fraternity.

Bangladesh Cricket Board officials told Cricbuzz that they have sent a member of their medical team to help him recover mentally.

"One of our official of the medical unit went to Chattogram to see him as this kind of thing has a long lasting effect on the mind of the cricketer," a BCB official said without elaborating further.

Mohammad Mithun, Cricket Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) president echoed the same sentiment as feels the young off-spinner is a very emotional person.

"He couldn't complete a sentence as he was weeping after saying one or two words when I spoke to him," Mithun told this website.

"We all know he is a very emotional guy and the incident seemed to have shaken him," he added.

"We need to support him mentally because he seems to have broken mentally more than physically," he said adding that BCB president Tamim Iqbal assured CWAB that they will make sure regarding a proper investigation into the matter and ensure justice to Nayeem. wants in

Meanwhile, it was reported that three members of the police, including a sub-inspector (SI), have been withdrawn from Khulshi Police Station and attached to police lines after Nayeem alleged that he was assaulted and harassed by police officers in Chittagong on Friday night.
