<i>Jailer lands in jail for assaulting prisoner</i>

A jailer was sent to Khagrachhari district jail after he surrendered before a court yesterday in connection with a case filed for assaulting a prisoner.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Abdullah Al Mamun of Khagrachhari Chief Judicial Magistrate Court rejected a bail prayer of Faridur Rahman Rubel and passed the order.
On March 19, 2008, Sultan Ahmed, an accused in an extortion case, filed the case with Chief Judicial Magistrate Court.
He was released recently on bail.
Advocate Md Nazrul Islam, the plaintiff of the case, stated that while being a jailer of Khagrachhari district jail, Rubel beat Sultan up without any provocation that had Sultan's leg broken in jail on November 23, 2007.
The attack on Sultan was illegal, he added.
Rubel is now jailer of Faridpur district jail. He is also accused in two other cases filed with the Khagrachhari District Judge Court and Chief Judicial Magistrate Court.
