Another boy brutally tortured
[Dhaka Tribune] Less than three months after the brutal death of 13-year-old Rajon from inhuman torture in the hands of adults, another teenage boy experienced similar barbarity in Sylhet.The incident happened in the district's Jaintiapur upazila last week. Fortunately, the 15-year-old was rescued before the torture became too much for him to handle, locals said. Police said the teenager was the victim of a feud between his father Abul Hossain and one of his abusers Abdul Hannan, both of whom are fishermen and residents of the upazila's Ghaterchhati Jatrapur village.
The culprits then took the teenager to a house, where Hannan and his accomplices -- his wife Hanifa Begum and her brothers Abdul Ali, Helal Uddin and Azir Uddin, who are from the same village -- tied him up and tortured him all night. They sealed his lips shut with safety pins so that he could not make any noise, and then took turns in beating him. They also burned him in several places on his body, police said. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... locals got wind of what was happening and alerted the victim's family, who rushed to the house and rescued the boy on September 14 morning. Battered and bruised, the boy was first taken to Jaintiapur Upazila Health Complex, but the doctors there referred him to MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital in Sylhet.
