| [Bangla Daily Star] The eyes of 14-year-old boy Miru Khan were not gouged out at an arbitration for stealing a mobile phone set at Bhanga upazila as mentioned in some national dailies on July 17. We're all so glad to hear that... Several dailies reported that influential locals at an arbitration forced Sultan Khan to gouge out his son Miru's eyes as punishment for stealing a cell phone set. Yep. That'd be paternal devotion, Subcontinental-style, I guess... Deputy Commissioner Helal Uddin Ahmed at a press conference at the office of superintendent of police (SP) said the reports were not true as the boy only sustained injury to his right eye. Oh. Well. That's another thing entirely. He said they would take necessary actions against the people responsible. "You there! Stop that gouging this instant or I'll take action!"
"Ummm... Right. Gouge my son's eyes out. That sounds fair." SP Mizanur Rahman said giving in to their pressure, Miru's father hit his eyes. Miru sustained injury to his right eye. "Son, this's gonna hurt you more than it does me!" "Aaaaiiieee! My eye!" "Hey! That's only one of 'em!" He was admitted to Faridpur Medical College Hospital the same day but released after receiving first aid. "Right. We'll just pop the old orb right back into its socket like [POP!] that!" "Aaaiiieee! My socket!" As he felt pain in the right eye, he got readmitted to the hospital the next day, said Mizanur. "Whattya mean, 'it fell back out'?" "Well I can see outta this one fine, but the other one just keeps looking in my shirt pocket..."
