Two groups filed complaints to the ICAC on Thursday, alleging that the police failed to act against violent mobs who attacked people at Yuen Long MTR Station on Sunday night.
The complaints, made by the Civil Human Rights Front and the Labour Party, followed a similar report to the anti-graft body by the Democratic Party on Wednesday.
The front accused Police Commissioner Stephen Lo and a number of the force's top commanders of corruption and misconduct in public office.
The group said the ICAC must look into why police officers allowed Sunday night's attackers to go free.
A dozen arrests have been made in the days since the violence, mostly for suspected illegal assembly offences. But as of Thursday lunchtime, no charges had been announced.
Forty-five people were taken to hospital, some with serious injuries, following the Yuen Long rampage where men wielding rods, canes and sticks battered passengers at the West Rail station.
The police admitted it took them more than half an hour to send officers into the station to confront the gang of men, by which time the attackers had already left the scene.
