Statement of minor domestic help recorded

Satkhira Correspondent: The 10-year old domestic help who was rescued from the residence of a magistrate has given statement of tortures on her.

Judicial Magistrate Shimul Kumar Biswas recorded the statement under section 22 on Wednesday night.  

Victim’s father Golam Rosul met her daughter at Satkhira Sadar Hospital on Thursday morning getting information of torturing. Meanwhile, he demanded punishment of accused who tortured her daughter.

Following the torturing incident, acting deputy director of Satkhira Lashkar Tajul Islam and acting civil surgeon Dr Rafiqul Islam met the victim around 10:30am on Thursday when the 10-year old girl Bithi described brutal torturing on her.  

The girl said that she was taken to the residence of Judicial Magistrate Nurul Islam one year and two months ago. Later, Nurul Islam shifted her to his father-in-law’s residence in Dhaka where Bithi faced brutal torturing for 11 months.

Magistrate Nurul Islam’s mother-in-law beat the child tying her hands and legs. Bithi had to eat rotten boiled rice. The victim got meals only two times in a day.

Dr Shamsur Rahman, the hospital’s medical team member, also a child specialist, said that several injury marks were found in the whole body of the victim.

Satkhira Sadar Thana Officer-in-Charge (OC) Emdad Sheikh said that victim’s father did not file any case yet.

Police will take action after written complaint, he added.  

Earlier on Wednesday, police rescued the ill-fated domestic help from residence of Satkhira Judicial Magistrate Nurul Islam.
