I was shot in the knee

On January 17, 2015, at around 4:00pm, I went to Paltan, to attend a programme of BNP. At around 6:00pm, some plainclothes policemen caught me and forced me into a "Leguna" (a local passenger vehicle). At first, police took me to the Gulistan Police Outpost. They beat me for about two hours with sticks and also kicked me after pushing me to the floor. After two hours, they dragged me outside the outpost and handcuffed me and put me in the "Leguna". Inside the "Leguna", they gagged me and blindfolded me with “Gamcha" (local cotton towel).

At around 8:30pm, they brought me to a pond near the “Mahanagar Natya Mancha Park" and after dragging me out, they fired two bullets into my right knee at point-blank range. I could not shout because the policemen gagged me.

After that they put me again in the "Leguna" and took me to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The doctors of the hospital advised to admit me but the policemen did not do so.

They kept me without treatment till the next day. On January 18, 2015, police showed me as an accused in three cases about burning and vandalising vehicles, filed with Paltan and Darus Salam Police Stations.

They kept me in the custody on remand for three days without any treatment. Then I was detained in Dhaka Central Jail and then Kashimpur Jail and released on bail after seven months.

In August 2015, I was sent to jail in a case of attacking a polling centre during the elections on January 5, 2014, and after two months, I was released on bail.

Now, there are four cases pending against me. I need appear at various courts regularly. Thus my academic career is being seriously hampered. My wounded right leg has thinned because I could not take timely treatment. It cannot support my body. I feel severe pain in the wounded area. I could not get proper treatment later due to the economic hardship of my family.
