The video footage of a minor newspaper vendor being tortured after having been tied with a tree in Nabiganj upazila on a petty theft charge has triggered an angry outcry.
Police detained three people for interrogation after the video clip of the incident that occurred on Friday went viral on the social networking site Facebook.
The video footage showed a Misbah Chowdhury beating Dabir Hossain, 13, after tying him to a tree.
On information, local UP chairman and others rescued the minor boy.
On Friday, Dabir sold a newspaper to Mohammad Chowdhury, Misbah’s brother.
As the restaurant owner did not pay him for the newspaper, the vendor took a packet of biscuit from the restaurant.
Later, Misbah called Dabir to the restaurant and then took him to a secluded place where he tied the boy with a tree and unleashed torture on him.
