Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed is facing legal trouble after a police complaint was lodged against him in Dhaka. A General Diary (GD) was reportedly filed alleging that Taskin physically assaulted a man named Sifatur Rahman Sourav in the Mirpur Model area on July 26.
The complaint claims Taskin had called Sourav to meet his friend and then beat him up. The case has been registered, and police have begun an investigation.
Efforts to reach Taskin Ahmed for a statement were unsuccessful initially as his phone remained unreachable following the incident.

BCB Monitoring Developments Closely
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has taken note of the situation. They confirmed that they are conducting a separate internal inquiry.
While no action has been taken yet, the board made it clear that such allegations are concerning, especially when they involve a player of Taskin’s stature.
"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," BCB Director and Chairman of the Umpires Committee, Iftekhar Rahman Mithu, said as quoted to Cricfrenzy.
