Death of Jihad: Full HC verdict published

Staff Correspondent: The High Court has published the full verdict about the death of four-year-old child Jihad who died after falling into a deep tube-well pipe at Shahjahanpur of Dhaka in December 2014.

Writ petitioner Barrister Abdul Halim confirmed the matter to risingbd.com on Monday.

The court ordered the Railway and Fire Service authority to compensate Tk 20 lakh to the family of Jihad within next 90 days.

Earlier, on February 18, 2016, the High Court ordered the authority concerned to compensate the victim's family.

On December 26, 2014, 4-year-old boy Jihad fell into a deep tube-well at Dhaka’s Shahjahanpur.

He fell through the pipe’s 14-inch opening, which was kept unsealed even after it was abandoned. Later, the rescuers called off their search after 23 hours, but the locals refused to give up. They finally pulled out Jihad soon afterwards but the child was dead by then.
