As part of this, he called his wife Yasmin on Monday afternoon and took the child to a vegetable garden in the hills. When Tanim reached the vegetable garden, he beat with a stick mercilessly and left him injured seriously. When he came home crying,Yasmin took off her shirt and found marks of serious injuries on Tanim’s back, chest, abdomen, head, eyes and other parts of his body. Later, he was admitted to the hospital.

Health officer of the hospital Dr Nuruddin Rashed said, “The child was beaten up and left him seriously injured. There are marks of injuries all over his body. The treatment is going on, but it will take time to recover.”
