Boy found dead in Tongi
A 14-year-old boy of Rangpur's Gangachara upazila was found dead in Dhaka's Tongi on Friday.
The deceased is Md Rubel (14), son of Mofizul Islam of the upazila.
He went to Tongi a week ago to start a job and support his family.
Mofizul said his neighbour Abdul Jalil's son Jamil Mia runs a shop in Tongi.
Jamil offered to employ Rubel at his shop. As the family agreed, Rubel left his village for Tongi on June 16 and started working at the shop.
But on Thursday, Jamil informed Mofizul that Rubel was seriously ill and asked him to visit Dhaka.
Mofizul went to Tongi and found his son dead at the place Jamil lives on Friday. He returned home with his son's body yesterday noon.
The father claimed that his son was tortured to death.
Being informed, police sent the body to Rangpur Medical College Hospital for autopsy, said Golam Kibriya, sub-inspector of Gangachara Police Station.
Police will take action if the family files any complaint, he said.
