Upon his release, his mother broke down in tears as she embraced her son, who was also seen crying. In his submission, the officer identified Sayeed as “speech-impaired.”The court ordered him to jail. Meanwhile, Maksudul submitted a separate application requesting that Sayeed not be considered “disabled” but rather “stammering or without clear diction”.
