A man was beaten, blindfolded, tied up, and thrown off the roof of a nine-storey building on suspicion of theft in Dhaka's Narda area on Thursday. He died two days later while receiving treatment at a city hospital.
Police arrested the prime accused, Imran Hossain Shuvo, 20, son of the building owner, in connection with the incident.
The victim is, Shakil, 25, a rickshaw puller by profession.
According to family members, Shakil was beaten up between 5:30pm and 9:30pm on false allegations of stealing electric wires and thrown off the roof later at night.
