Completely taken aback by the situation at hand, the artist kept enquiring why he had been taken into custody? Officers told him that he’ll get to know once they reach the police station.

Abuzar asked the officer what the issue was. The officer continued to threaten and scare him by saying that he will find out the issue once he reaches the police station. That the issue was his ‘Hulia’/appearance, his ‘lambay Baal’ and that he is out on the street at 3 am.

After much insistence, they allegedly told him that his appearance was the reason of his arrest, and that he was out on the streets at 3 am. Because, how dare he?

Abuzar tried to explain to them he’s a teacher, but they did not relent.

Abuzar kept explaining that he is a teacher and an artist. However, The police harassment did not stop and they forced him to sit in the van and he was taken to the police station.

They were adamant on allegedly keeping him locked up for a day, only to teach him a lesson for having long hair and being out in the night, waiting for a rickshaw.

At the police station, they checked him & his bag. They found nothing except a few books. The officer who checked him asked ‘thaanaydar Saifullah’ to let him go at his pint. But, no. He didn’t agree and instead asked his junior to put Abuzar in the lockup.

He insisted that he wanted to teach Abuzar a lesson for his long hair & appearance. That a Night in jail would be good for him to know that he dare not look the way he chooses to. Abuzar reached out to friends through Facebook to seek legal support before his phone was taken.
