A court has sent a lecturer of Khulna University to jail in a case filed against him for torturing his wife for dowry.
The accused – Sadhan Chandra Swarnakar – is a lecturer of the Department of Environmental Sciences.
Khulna Metropolitan Magistrate Judge Md Tariqul Islam rejected his bail plea and handed down the order on Thursday.
On January 31, Puja Swarnakar, the accused’s wife, filed the case alleging that her husband tortured her for dowry.
Plaintiff’s counsel Abu Huraira Sohel said that Sadhan had started torturing his wife since their marriage in 2020 demanding dowry.
On January 7, Sadhan beat her up again and threw her out of the house. Later, Puja’s family members admitted her to Khulna General Hospital after noticing injury marks on her body.
The court summoned Sadhan for appearing before it on Thursday.
