If his condition is critical there, he is sent to Sylhet Osmani Medical College Hospital.

It is known that some prison guards have been torturing the prisoners in various ways inside the prison for a long time. Staying there with torture. If someone protested, a storm descended on them. Many are kept in cells and even in towers. So no one dares to protest. Jail Officers visit Jail every week and 1/2 day in a month. But many of them came away after seeing the case table without interrogating the prisoners. And when some went inside and asked the prisoners, no one dared to open their mouths for fear of the jailer and the subadar. Recently, a prisoner named Farooq Miah of Bongaon village was thrashed and his arms and legs were broken by Subadar Amin Miah and Jailer Fakhrul immediately after he left for trial before the Magistrate.

He tried to the jailer in this regard but did not get any remedy. After coming out on bail, Farooq took treatment at Sadar Hospital and complained against them to various departments including Deputy Commissioner, IG Prisons. District Zainal Abedin has been transferred in view of the complaint, but Subadar Amin and Jailer Fakhrul are still in good health. On the afternoon of January 13, the prison guard severely beat Maqsud Ali’s son Lal Mia with a stick and injured him. Later, when he lost consciousness, he was rescued and admitted to Sadar Hospital. Here, his condition deteriorated and he was sent to Osmani Hospital on January 14 afternoon. His condition is critical here, family sources said.

In this regard, the jail superintendent said that the fact that he was injured by the prison guard is not correct. It happened that the prisoners fought with each other. But he is mentally ill. In this regard, Jahurul Hossain, the executive magistrate in charge of the prison, said that action will be taken on the news. He does not know this.
