Jabeda Begum of 313, Muradpur at Noakhalipatti in Shyampur accused Md Anwar Hossain, divisional probationary sub-inspector, and three constables Shakhawat, Ali Reza and Jalal Uddin of killing her son Mamun on March 16.

In the complaint, she said, Mamun went out at 4:40pm to a nearby tea-stall

The complainant and her husband Gias Uddin Molla went to Shyampur Police Station to learn that police had taken their son to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for treatment. Shortly afterwards, the parents found Mamun lying dead in a pool of blood at the emergency section of the hospital.

On their return home at 8:00pm,they learnt from the locals that as the policemen entered the tea-stall, Mamun and several others started running. The police chased them for about 100 yards and fired at them and Mamun was shot. Anwar, the probationary sub-inspector, fired once again at Mamun to be sure of his death and took him away on a police van, said the complainant.
