A man held suspecting his involvement in mugging died in police custody allegedly of inhuman torture on Friday night, reports UNB.

Refuting the allegation police said Fakir Chan, 28, in his attempt to flee with hand-cuff was fatally wounded and died on way to hospital.

A committee with additional police super Masud Karim was formed to probe into the death of Fakir Chan.

He was arrested on April 12 in connection with mugging of Tk 6 lakh in front of Godnyle branch of Sonali Bank on April 6.

Rahela Begum, wife of Fakir Chan, came to Narayanganj Hospital with her three minor children on hearing the news of death of her husband.

She broke down in tears and told newsmen that her husband was engaged as transport worker in Moulvibazar. She could not meet him since the arrest. Her repeated appeal to produce him to court went in vain.

"I went to DB office with food for my husband on Friday night but could neither meet him nor reach the food to him. ASI Babul demanded Tk 50,000 as bribe that I could not give. I waited till 9pm and returned home in frustration," said Rahela narrating her woes.

Alam Chan, a shop owner, squarely blamed the police for torturing his brother to death and demanded a fair inquiry.

Locals said Fakir Chan was once believed involved in inter-district ring of dacoits. Of late, he was known dealing in phensidyl with Ali Naser, a resident of Mijmiji under Siddirganj thana.
