[Dhaka Tribune] A gruesome video of torturing Sheikh Samiul Alam Rajon, the 13-year-old boy who was killed in Kumargaon of Sylhet, has been leaked on the internet.The 28-minute video that was filmed and uploaded by the criminals themselves showed how Rajon was subjected to barbaric torture before he departed this vale of tears.
Officer in-Charge of Jalalabad cop shoppe Akhter Hossain said the video was not recorded on a hidden camera. "The torturers consciously filmed the whole scene and uploaded it to Facebook," he said adding that they had sought seven-day remand for the main accused Muhit who was caught red handed while dumping Rajon's body.
The jittery video done with a mobile phone showed Rajon being tied to a pillar of Sundar Ali Market while five to six people beat and tortured him in various ways.
Every time Rajon cried out in pain, the torturers were heard to laugh loud. They even made fun poking him in his private parts.
On July 8 Muhit and his associates picked up Rajon on allegation of stealing. Later his body was found from an ambulance on the same day.
Rajon's father Sheikh Azizur Rahman, hailing from Kandigaon union, is a microbus driver. On the day of the incident, he went out with his car while Rajon went to sell vegetables.
Lubna Akter, Rajon's mother, said her son was not a thief and demanded punishment of those involved in his death.
OC Akhter Hossain said they were looking for Muhit's brother Kamrul Islam, 24, his associate Ali Haider alias Ali, 34 and security guard Moyna Mia, 45.
Rajon's father filed a case in this connection.
