The first court hearing in the case filed against nine policemen among 13 accused of gouging a man’s eyes out in Khulna led to the investigators requesting an extension.
Shahjalal was accused of robbing a woman and claimed to have been subjected to mob lynching, which the police claimed, led to his eyes being gouged out. Shahjalal and his family counterclaimed saying the police picked him up and gouged out his eyes after thrashing him in the police station for not paying a ransom.

The news was confirmed by the plaintiff’s lawyer Advocate Mominul Islam. The case plaintiff, Renu Begum, Shahjalal’s mother, was in attendance.
Earlier on Monday, Shahjalal was granted permanent bail in a case where he was accused of attempted hijacking.
