The autopsy report of Sultana Jasmine who died in RAB custody in Rajshahi’s Naogaon on March 22 has been submitted to the High Court.
The report has been submitted to the Attorney General's Office on Tuesday.
According to the report, Jasmine was not tortured. Rather, she suffered from high blood pressure which eventually led to her death.
Attorney General AM Amin Uddin has confirmed the autopsy report to the media.
Hearing on the report is likely to be held Tuesday.
On Monday, The bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice Ahmed Sohel also asked the concerned government officials to submit details of RAB personnel who arrested and interrogated Jasmine to the court on Tuesday.
They made the orders after taking newspaper reports into account regarding the issue.
Advocate Manoj Kumar Bhowmik presented the reports published in various news outlets before the court.
After that, the HC asked Assistant Attorney General Abul Kalam Khan Daud to find out whether there was any case involving the death. After 15 minutes, the state lawyer told the court that no case has been filed so far.
On March 24, an employee of a union land office Sultana Jasmine, 45, died in the custody of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) being allegedly tortured by the elite force.
On March 22, the victim was detained from the Muktirmor area of Naogaon city.
However, the elite force denied the allegation of torture. They claimed that the victim was arrested for interrogation as there was an accusation of fraudulence against her.
Shahed Hossain Saikat, son of Sultana Jesmine, alleged that his mother was a victim of conspiracy. "She was tortured while in RAB custody which led to her death."
Naogaon municipality's former councillor and Sultana's uncle Nazmul Haque Mantu told journalists that Sultana was arrested by a group of people wearing RAB uniform.
"After 12pm, we came to know that Sultana had been under treatment at Naogaon Hospital. We rushed and found RAB people there. My niece was unable to speak that time", said Nazmul.
Rajshahi RAB-5 Company Commander Major Nazmus Sakib said they got an allegation of fraud against Sultana and arrested her for interrogation, finding evidence of an unusual transaction in her bank statement.
"She fell sick immediately after the detention and was rushed to Nagaon Sadar Hospital. After primary treatment she was moved to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH) where she died of stroke on Friday morning", he said.
He added that the body was handed over to her family on Saturday after completing all legal procedures.
