Police arrested three people for allegedly tying the hands and feet of a fourth grade student in Bakerganj, Barisal. Two of them were placed in preventive detention and one was handed over to the family for being a minor, police said.
The victim is a 9-year-old fourth-year student at Sukhinilganj Public Primary School in Bakerganj Upazila. He was admitted to Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital.
The detainees were identified as Sahabuddin Sagar, 40, Helal Chowkidar, 25 and a 14-year-old boy from Nilganj village in Bakerganj upazila.
Bakerganj Police Station OC Abul Kalam said the boy’s father’s home was in Nalciti upazila of Jhalokati, but he lived at his grandfather’s home in Bakerganj village in Nilganj. On Thursday afternoon, neighbors tortured him for stealing a mobile phone.
