A Dhaka Court on Friday placed Nowrin Jahan Nadi on a three-day remand in a case filed for torturing 11-year-old-girl Aduri and dumping her into a city dustbin from where police recovered her four days back.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Nuru Mia passed the remand order after Pallabi police placed Nadi in the court seeking a five-day remand for interrogation.
In the remand prayer, police said they needed to take Nadi on remand to interrogate her. The court, however, rejected the bail prayer.
Pallabi police station Sub-Inspector Enamul Haque Khanker filed the case against Nadi under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act, 2003.
Enamul filed the case against four people for torturing Aduri. The other accused are Saiful Islam Masud, husband of Nadi; Chunnu Mira, brother-in-law of Masud; and Rocky, brother-in-law of Chunnu Mira.
Shamima Begum, deputy commissioner of Women Support and Investigation Division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, said the other accused had went into hiding soon after the incident.
“We are investigating the incident in coordination with Pallabi police and trying to arrest them,” said DC Shamima.
Meanwhile, lawyer Manzill Murshid, president of Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh, visited Dhaka Medical College Hospital to ensure treatment and legal aid service for Aduri.
Talking to the Dhaka Tribune, he said they would provide all kinds of legal support to Aduri and take all necessary steps to provide her with better medical service.
Earlier, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Cantonment police station Abdul Mannan rescued Aduri from a dustbin of DOHS Baridhara area last Monday.
He took her to the DMCH neurosurgery department. Later, she was shifted to One-stop Crisis Centre with the help of DMP Victim Support Centre where she is now undergoing treatment.
Bilkis Akter, coordinator of the specialised centre, told the Dhaka Tribune that Aduri was improving but as the injury marks were very deep, it might take her some more time to recover.
"However, we are providing her with medicine and nutritious food so that she can recover quick," she added.
