| [Bangla Daily Star] Miscreants gouged out eyes of a BNP activist strapping him to a tree on Aditmari Degree College campus Monday. The victim is Abdus Samad, 40, son of late Kismat Ali, of Chandimari village in Kamlabari union of the district. Samad is one of the charge-sheeted accused of Awami League leader Suruj killing case, which is under trial with its accused on bail. Samad lost both his eyes and is now fighting for life at hospital, said his family sources. According to the victim's family members, a gang of masked men kidnapped Samad as he left home for Durarkuti on some family affairs around 11:40pm. They took him to the college compound on a microbus and tied him to a tree, they added. They said the criminals inhumanly tortured him before gouging his eyes out with sharp weapon. They then left Samad seriously injured. Locals recovered seriously injured Samad and rushed him to Aditmari upazila hospital. He was later referred to Rangpur Medical College as his condition deteriorated. The victim's elder brother Mohammad Ali, also an accused of the Suruj murder case, was tortured the same way allegedly by pro-AL cadres of the upazila eight months ago, said family sources. They claimed that though a case was lodged in connection with Mohammad Ali's torture accusing some AL activists, police are yet to make any progress in the investigation. |
