Investigation Continues in Limassol Tragedy
In the wake of the tragic incident in Limassol, where 23-year-old Anisur Rahman fell to his death, the police Limassol have maintained a discreet stance on the ongoing investigation. The unfortunate event unfolded last Wednesday during a police raid at a dangerous-listed apartment, resulting in Rahman’s death and the detention of 11 Bangladeshi nationals who were residing there. The group is currently facing potential deportation, as indicated by a source familiar with the case.
The apartment, deemed hazardous and cordoned off with warning signs, was reportedly leased for €2,000 despite its condition. Questions directed to the Cyprus police station regarding the landlord’s accountability have been met with silence. Initially, the police had informed the Cyprus Mail that locating the landlord was a matter of time since he was not found in their system. However, no further details have been disclosed since then.
As the investigation proceeds without significant updates, the community is left with concerns about the lack of information on both the landlord and the employers of the Bangladeshi nationals. The Cyprus police website and the North Cyprus police website have yet to provide any new insights into the case.
Furthermore, there are growing concerns surrounding the treatment of those involved in the raid, with allegations of abuse at the hands of the police. These allegations have prompted the Ombudswoman to announce an independent investigation into Rahman’s death, which she has described as “an act of desperation.”
In the meantime, arrangements are being made for Rahman’s body to be returned to Bangladesh, with his home government covering the repatriation costs. As for those seeking information on obtaining a Cyprus police clearance, or updates on the situation in police Cyprus Limassol, they are advised to monitor official channels for any forthcoming announcements.
