A man was arrested on charge of torturing his six-year-old stepson in Nabiganj upazila of Habiganj district yesterday.

The victim’s mother Sumana Begum on Tuesday filed a case with Nabiganj Police Station, accusing Swapan, said Officer-in-Charge Azizur Rahman of the police station.

Two months ago, Sumana went to Saudi Arabia as a labourer.

On information, police yesterday rescued the children from Swapan’s house and arrested him, said the OC.
