Cartoonist Ahmed Kabir, who was released on bail in a case under the Digital Security Act, has filed a case under the Custody Prevention Act that describes the torture of a teenager. He presented the case in the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Kayes on Wednesday.
In the RG of the case, the plaintiff said: “I woke up at 5:30 pm on May 2 of last year when they called me at home. As soon as I opened the door, a stranger said to me, ‘Why don’t you open the door?’ Then he said, ‘Take off your lungi, put on your pants and put on a nice shirt.’ When I asked for their identities, they did not identify me. I heard one of them call Jasim in their conversation. They all entered the house and began to search. They couldn’t show me any arrest warrant. My cell phone, CPU, and all kinds of portable digital devices were illegally taken from my home.
The plaintiff further stated in the petition: “When they handcuffed me and took me out of the house, six or seven vehicles were waiting in front of the house. Many people gathered in front of my house and picked me up in a car. Then I started screaming loudly. But they were playing loud music in the car. Maybe my screams couldn’t be heard outside. ‘
The plaintiff added: “I later realized that I was being taken to a room in an old, damp house. Then they showed me one cartoon after another through the projector. I want to know the meaning of them. He showed me some cartoons about Corona and said, ‘Why are you drawing these?’ They asked me about the characters in the cartoon. At one point, my ears hit hard. Then I lost consciousness. I noticed that my ears were bleeding. Then they hit me on the knee with a steel plate. I was knocked out of pain and suffering. “
