3 jailed for torturing underage house helps
Three persons were sent to jail yesterday in a case filed for torturing two underage house helps, who tried to escape their employer’s house in Dhanmondi.
The arrestees are: one Golam Kibria, his wife and daughter.
They were produced before a Dhaka court which sent them to jail, said Dhanmondi Police Station OC Abdul Latif.
Police detained them on Saturday after the two 11-year-old boys tried to escape through a ventilator of a sixth-floor apartment where Kibria lived. One of the boys, Sharif, fell in his attempt and broke his leg.
His father filed a case with Dhanmondi Police Station after the incident, said OC Abdul Latif.
Injured Sharif, undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, alleged that Kibria’s family members kept them confined, and often beat them up over trivial matters.
