A Hindu youth was killed under the custody of Bangladesh army. Hridoy Robi Das used to work as a hairdresser in his own salon in Kishorganj, Bangladesh. His relatives complained that some locals dragged him out of his salon at 8 pm on Friday. After torturing him, they handed him over to the Karimganj army camp. The next morning, Saturday, his relatives were informed that Hridoy had died in the hospital during treatment.
Three Islamic clerics, local officials called for him and took him inside the house (where he was tortured).
These boys took him inside the shuttered house and refused to disclose what they did to him, though it's clear they beat him.
A through investigation is needed to ensure that justice is served for the poor and helpless.
We rushed to see him but were told to come back the next day. The next morning, the army informed us that Hridoy had died.
The assistant director of the local medical college reported that army personnel brought Hridoy to the hospital at midnight on Thursday. Later he died in ICU during treatment.
The patient was brought here from Karimganj army camp at 2:10 am, where he died during treatment.
We found signs of some beatings, when he arrived he was bleeding from his mouth.
No on-duty army or police official would speak on camera about the death in army custody. The local army camp supervisor, a lieutenant colonel Muhammad Riazul, stated that Hridoy Robi Das wanted to convert and marry a local Muslim girl. He also allegedly planned to traffic her. Kishoreganj police chief stated that the deceased's body was recovered and sent to the local medical hospital for a postmortem. He also stated that legal action was being taken in this matter.
