On August 20, 2012 at around 8:00 pm Lalmohon police arrested and took Mohammad Anwar Hossain, son of Manik Showdagar and Bibi Sokhina to Lalmohon Police Station of Bhola district in custody. His family alleged that the police tied his hands from behind, blindfolded him and beat him on the leg inside the police station.
Odhikar’s Statement
Torture is a clear violation of Section 35(5) of the Constitution of Bangladesh. Incident of torture is increasing day by day because of the culture of impunity of law enforcement agencies. Odhikar demands a fair trial for the mental and physical torture on Anwar in the police custody without having any official charges against him.
