The punishments were handed down on them after an emergency meeting at the BHF 's Maulana Bhasani Stadium office yesterday.

Both Jummon and Rana were found guilty of beating umpire Golam Kibria during the final moments of the Club Cup hockey final between Mohammedan and Abahani last Thursday.

The league committee has also recommended a fine of Taka 10,000 for each culprit. Faruque, another Abahani player, was served a three-match suspension while Nakib got a one-match ban.

But other two Abahani players Shishu and Alamgir escaped punitive measures due to insufficient evidence.

The recommendations of the league committee now await the final approval of the BHF's executive committee.

During the final of the two popular teams, Kibria was chased and mercilessly beaten by the unruly Abahani players and officials. The ugly episode, which took place in front of a host of dignitaries, began when Kibria awarded a penalty-corner against the Dhanmondi outfit in the dying moments of the of the match and Mohammedan's Prince stepped up to scored the 'golden goal.'
