A teenage boy was tied to a tree, tortured and garlanded with shoes for allegedly stealing money from a shop in Laxmipur municipality.

The incident took place at Banchhanagar of the municipality on Saturday afternoon.

At first, Neerob was tortured and handed over to police. Later, he was freed from police promising for local arbitration.

Local arbitrators fined Neerob Tk 30,000. But his guardian grandfather (maternal) refused to pay the money that created outcry and Neerob was tortured again. He was admitted to Laxmipur Sadar Hospital on Sunday night.

On Monday, Neerob’s grandmather (maternal) filed complainant with local police station after the video clip went viral.
