Hockey horror how long?

SPORTS REPORTER
The League Committee of Bangladesh Hockey Federation (BFH) will sit on Monday to solve a familiar issue that local hockey has experienced many a time.
Although beating of umpires is one of the most dreadful things that one can expect to happen on the field, this heinous act is something our umpires have learned to live with.
The recent assault on umpire Golam Kibria during the Club Cup final between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Abahani Krira Chakra was an instance of how insecure the officials have become in our country.
Kibria was running for his life after a group of aggrieved Abahani players led by none other than their beloved coach Jummon Lusai chased him and menacingly wielding the hockey stick. The offence of Kibria was that he awarded a penalty corner against the popular Dhanmondi outfit at the last minute of the blood and thunder clash.
He would have escaped with the ruling had not Mohammedan scored
the winner from the resultant short corner.
It was not that the Abahani players mercilessly beat Kibria in front of thousands at the Maulana Bhasani National Stadium, but the ugly scenes happened right in front of the State Minister for Youth and Sports Fazlur Rahman and BHF president Air Vice Marshall Fakhrul Azam.
But two days after that black episode the officials were discussing more on to justify the ruling of the umpire rather than trying to work out a formula to rid hooliganism once and for all.
The tournament committee secretary Nurul Amin has confirmed that both the umpires and the match commissioner, whose name was not known, have submitted their reports. He also said that the culprits would be punished.
But past records reflected an altogether different story.
Four years ago during the semifinal of the first edition of the Club Cup another umpire Monwarul Islam was mercilessly beaten by Mariner players and officials. Unfortunately the culprits escaped
with minimum punishment.
Incidentally, BHF general secretary Shamsul Bari has been lucky not to see the latest episode. Bari, who has been running hockey affairs for nearly two decades, was attending an important meeting of the Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) in South Korea during the final on Friday. He is returning home today.
Many feel that the otherwise submissive leader should have done something to cure the madness. Otherwise, he is destined to lose his moral ground to stick to his post.
