block
UNB, Khulna :
A court here on Monday placed Sharif and Mintu, the two prime accused in the Rakib killing case, on a five-day remand.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Faruk Iqbal passed the order after Sadar Police Station sub-inspector Kazi Mostaque Ahmed, also investigation officer of the case, produced them before his court seeking a 10-day remand. The duo was injured in a mob beating following the death of Rakib and was undergoing treatment at a local hospital under police custody.
Earlier on August 3, only minor boy Rakib, who used to work at a motorcycle
garage at Tutpara Central Road in Khulna city, was tortured to death allegedly by his employers over quitting job.
Locals caught the two torturers -‘Sharif Motorcycle Garage’ owner Sharif and his brother Mintu and handed them over to the local police station after giving them a good beating.
Alam Haldar, victim’s father, filed a case with Sadar Police Station against three people-Sharif and Mintu, and their mother Beauty Akhter-on Tuesday. Police also arrested Beauty as she was present during the incident on the spot. On August 6, the court also placed Beauty Begum on a three-day remand.
