HC asks govt to produce 2 child accused before it

The High Court yesterday ordered the authorities concerned of the government to produce two children who were detained in a case filed for killing another child in Kamrangirchar of Dhaka in last October, before it on January 29.

The HC gave the order following a petition filed by Children's Charity Bangladesh Foundation (CCBF), a rights organisation. CCBF's counsel Barrister Abdul Halim submitted the petition before the HC. He said the children were under nine years' old and police had sent them to the custody without determining their age.

Alif Bhuiyan, son of Uzzal Bhuiyan of Kamrangirchar, was killed on last September 29. His body was recovered on October 11 and the same day police arrested the two children.
