A man from Khulna has alleged that policemen from Khulna’s Khalishpur police station had gouged out his eyes after he refused to bribe them. “When I said that I did not have the money, they took me out of the station saying that I would be admitted to the hospital. However, Khaliashpur police station Officer-in-Charge Nasir Khan claimed that it was the people who gouged out Shahjalal’s eyes after he was caught snatching a bag from one Suma Aktar near Khalishpur’s Golakhali rail line. Shahjalal’s wife Rahela Begum said: “Hearing the news that my husband was picked up by Inspector Rasel and Mamun, I rushed to the station. “I stayed in front of the police station that night and saw that the policemen took Shahjalal out of the station around 11:30pm.
