A Khulna court has framed charges against three persons for the killing of 12-year-old Rakib, who died after the alleged murderers pumped air into his stomach.
Metropolitan Session’s Court Judge Dilruba Sultana framed the charges after the accused were presented before her court yesterday.
The three – Md Sharif, his mother Beauty Begum and his so-called uncle Mintu Miah – all pleaded innocence before the court.
The judge later adjourned proceedings, fixing October 11 to start the recording of witness testimonies in the case.
The family members of Rakib – who was reportedly killed because he had left his job at Sharif’s garage – were present during yesterday’s court proceedings.
