Case filed over tortured Khulna boy\\\'s death

The father of the boy, tortured to death in a motorcycle repair shop in Khulna, has filed a case against three people detained by police for his son’s murder. Twelve-year-old Md Rakib’s former co-workers inserted a high-pressure air pump nozzle into his rectum and filled the body with air. The fatal pressure tore apart his intestine and burst his lungs, causing his death. Barely a month after the chilling murder of Sylhet teen Samiul Alam Rajan, Bangladesh is witness to another barbaric murder of a 12-year-old boy. Locals caught the garage owner Mintu Mia, 40, his employee ‘Sharif’, 35, and his mother Beauty Begum, 55. Sukumar Biswas, officer in-charge of Khulna Sadar Police station said, the father, Nurul Alam, filed the case on Tuesday morning, accusing the three detained persons. “The body will be handed over to the family after an autopsy is performed at the Khulna Medical College and Hospital”, the police officer said, according to a news agency.
