On July 8, 13-year-old boy Samiul Alam Rajon was beaten to death in Sylhet’s Kumargaon by some men who falsely accused him of stealing a rickshaw van.
One of the killers recorded the incident on mobile phone and later uploaded on Facebook.
The video soon spread on social media platforms, triggering massive outrage among the public.
The 28-minute video shows the victim tied to a pole in front of a workshop in the still-closed Sultan Ali Market, beside the Dhaka-Sunamganj road.
Later, a case was registered in this connection against 13 people, including Kamrul, who is a Saudi immigrant.
Kamrul was detained by some Bangladeshis in Saudi Arabia and handed over him to the local police. Meanwhile, a district court has already accepted charges against the accused and issued arrest warrants against the fugitives in the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, Interpol issued Red Notice against Kamrul and two of his brothers – Shamim and Pavel – who are also on the run.
Ten others are now in police custody while eight of them have given confessional statements in the case.
