GD lodged over attack on Limon, mother

Posted by bangladesh

A general diary (GD) has been filed in connection with Monday's attack on maimed college student Limon Hossain and his mother at their village home in Jhalakathi district.

Limon's mother Henuara Begum filed the GD with the Rajapur Police Station on Tuesday afternoon, Officer-in-Charge Tafazzal Hossain told bdnews24.com.

"The allegations include beating and making threats. They were brought against Ebrahim who is known as a Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) source," he said.

Limon and his mother were injured in an attack near their house at Saturia village allegedly by 'Leader Ibrahim', son of Abdur Rashid of the same village and "a RAB source", in Rajapur Upazila of the district on Monday afternoon when they were on their way back to Kaukhali Upazila of Pirojpur district after meeting their relatives on the occasion of the Eid festival.

Limon currently stays at a rented house on the Bus Stand Road in Kaukhali to attend his college.

He and his mother were admitted to Rajapur Upazila Health Complex following the attack.

Ebrahim, who is also the 17th witness in the case filed against Limon by RAB, was also admitted to the same hospital.

Hours after Monday's attack, police recovered the body of one 'Forkan' (35), brother-in-law of Ebrahim.

Meanwhile, the deceased's wife Lili Begum filed another case with the local police station on Tuesday morning accusing Limon's brother and their relatives in the village of killing her husband in a counter attack.

OC Tafazzal Hossain said they registered the complaint as a case of unnatural death.

Sub-Inspector of Police Abdul Alim told bdnews24.com, "The autopsy of Forkan's body has been conducted. Measures will be taken after the report is available."

Henuara Begum said Forkan was not present on the spot when they came under attack and claimed that false allegations were being levelled against them.


Ebrahim told bdnews24.com at the hospital that he did not attack Limon and his mother on Monday afternoon, rather Limon's brother and their relatives attacked him.

"Limon's relatives swooped on Forkan when he came to my aide after hearing about the attack on me. He was critically injured [in the attack] and succumbed to his injures."

Meanwhile, Jhalakathi district's Additional Superintendent of Police Mohammad Mohidul Islam told bdnews24.com on Monday night that Forkan's body was recovered about one kilometre away from the place where the incident had taken place. "No injury marks were found in his body."

Dr Abul Khair Russell of Rajapur Upazila Health Complex, where both Henuara Begum and Ebrahim are undergoing treatment, said their injuries were not serious and that Limon was released on the Eid night after being given first aid.

Limon sits for HSC exams

Posted by bangladesh

Limon Hossain, who lost one of his legs in a RAB shooting immediately before taking the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination last year, has finally been able to sit for the first year test this year.

"My examination was supposed to end this year. But I could not take part in the first year final examination as I lost my leg last year. Therefore, I'm sitting for the test now," Limon told after reaching Government Boys School centre at Pirojpur's Kaukhali.

He came to the centre by a rickshaw wearing his artificial leg on Sunday.

"Though I lost my leg, I had to rush to the court for cases," a frustrated Limon said. "If Allah wishes, one day I will definitely stand on my one leg by becoming a true human being."

He urged everyone to pray for him before entering the centre.

Limon was a first year HSC examinee from the upazila's Kathalia PGS Multi-purpose Technical School and College under Business Management section.

The paramilitary force reportedly shot Limon after taking him to a place adjacent to his house at Jamaddarhat in Rajapur upazila of Jhalakati on Mar 23, 2011.

Limon's left leg had to be cut off. He claimed that RAB shot him without even alerting him when he went to get his cows from the field.

The elite force the same day filed two cases against the teenager under the arms act and another for obstructing government duty and attempting to injure and kill RAB personnel.

Limon's mother, Henuara Begum, also filed an attempt-to-murder case against six RAB-8 men and six unidentified people.

"Limon's HSC examinations were supposed to end this year. But RAB's cruelty has taken away one year from his life," she told last year.

"Moreover, he had to lose one of his legs forever," she had said.
