Maiming Children
OC kept standing in dock for 5hrs
The High Court yesterday kept officer-in charge (OC) of Kamrangirchar Police Station standing in the courtroom for about five hours in connection with the incident of maiming Neyamul, a seven-year old child, to force him into begging.
An HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Sheikh Md Zakir Hossain directed the police authorities to inform this court within seven days what steps have been taken against OC Shafiqul Islam Shikdar for his “negligence” to protect Neyamul.
Examining a report placed by the office of inspector general of police, the bench said Shafiqul has neglected to discharge his duty to protect Neyamul, and appropriate steps have to be taken against him.
He (Shafiqul) has committed falsehood by claiming that two associates of Neyamul have cut off his penis, it said.
On January 9, Neyamul placed statement to the High Court judges, saying that Khandker Omar Faruq and Shariful Islam Korban, members of a gang, have cut off his penis.
The court, however, exonerated the OC from personal appearance in the court.
The OC appeared before the bench yesterday morning as per its Sunday's directive.
