According to police sources, Raihan, a resident of Akhalia Niharipara in the city of Sylhet, was arrested at the Bandarbazar outpost on the night of 10 October and tortured. The next day he died. His wife Tahmina Akhter filed a case with the Kotwali Police Station under the Death in Custody (Prevention) Act. A committee made up of the metropolitan police investigated the incident and found the truth about the torture. On this basis, on 12 October, four people, including SI Akbar, who was in charge of the outpost, were suspended and three others were removed. On October 13, Akbar escaped from police custody. After 26 days, on November 9, the police arrested Akbar at the Dona border in Kanaighat. On November 10, PBI sent Akbar to court for seven days.
While in pre-trial detention, Akbar told PBI last Friday night that he was ill. When he was taken to the emergency department at Osmani Medical College Hospital in Sylhet, the doctor on duty found no illness. After an hour, Akbar was back in PBI custody.
When asked, SP Muhammad Khaled-uz-Zaman told Prothom Alo that after pre-trial detention, Sylhet Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Akbar was brought before the court of Abul Kashem. The court sent him to jail for refusing to give any statement about the murder.
