A Sylhet court has sent Ruhul Amin to jail in the case filed in connection with the brutal killing of Sheikh Samiul Alam Rajon in Kumargaon area of Sylhet city on July 8. Judge Anwarul Haque of the Judicial Magistrate Court passed the order after police produced Ruhul before his court on completion of his 7-day remand.

Police arrested Ruhul Amin, brother-in-law of Ali Haider, a suspect named in the FIR of the gruesome killing case, from Tuker Bazar on the outskirts of the city on July 18.

With the arrest of Ruhul, 13 people have so far been arrested in connection with the gruesome murder. On July 8, the 13-year-old boy, Sheikh Samiul Alam Rajon, son of Sheikh Azizur Rahman of Badeali village in Sadar upazila, was brutally tortured to death over a theft at Sundar Ali Market in Kumargaon area of the city.
