Brutality by drug addict husband
Achhiya Begum, who was tortured by her drug addict husband on January 1 as she objected to his drug taking, is still in a serious condition.
Achhiya, 34, mother of two children, was rescued by neighbours from her home in Bishbari village under Lalmonirhat Sadar upazila and admitted to Lalmonirhat Sadar Hospital. As her condition deteriorated, she was referred to Rangpur Medical College Hospital from where she was released on January 10. She has been living in her sister's house since then.
Dr Azmol Haque of Lalmonirhat Sadar Hospital said there were many injury marks on her body due to torture.
“My husband Kalam Miah was under the influence of drugs on the night when he tortured me, causing serious injuries,” Achhiya said. Achhiya's sister Shahina Begum said, “I and my parents are poor, so it is impossible for us to continue her treatment.”
“As Kalam is a dangerous drug addict, we dare not file any case with the police against him,” said Acchiya's mother Jahura Begum.
