Jhenidah Jailor faces case for 'torture' of inmate
Our Correspondent, Magura
A case was filed with Jhenidah District and Sessions Judge's court on Tuesday accusing the Jailer, one Havildar and two jail guards of Jhenidah district jail for physically torturing some jail inmate. The judge directed the jail authorities to produce the victim before court within 24 hours. Victim Rabiul Islam's father Israyel Munshi filed the case. Israyel alleged that Rabiul and his fellow inmates Limon and Akash were beaten severely by one Havildar and jail guards Alim and Miraz as they denied to pay Tk 300 which they used to pay earlier per month for allowing food into the jail from outside. When inmates Sohrab, Chand, Shahin, Saiful and Raza came to save the victims, they were also clubbed indiscriminately, he alleged in the case. The jailer could not be contacted despite repeated attempts. Assistant jailer Rezaul Haq said the allegations are not correct. "Some inmates were slapped", he said but avoided when asked why they were slapped.
