The case filed over the lynching of Taslima Begum Renu in the city’s North Badda area over child-lifting rumour in 2019 is ready for trial.

Today, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rashid ordered the transfer of the case to the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court, as it was ready for trial.

Badda police station Sub-inspector Mazharul Islam informed the matter to BSS.

Mohin Uddin, sole fugitive accused in the case today surrendered in the court of Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Noor and applied for bail.

After the hearing, the judge ordered him to be sent to jail scrapping his bail application.

Taslima Begum Renu, 40, a single mother of two, was brutally beaten to death by a mob on suspicion of being a child lifter, in front of North Badda Government Primary School in the morning on July 20, 2019.

It was later learned that Renu went there to take information regarding admission of her daughter Tahsin Tuba, 4, at that school.

Renu’s nephew Nasir Uddin filed the case with Badda Police Station against 400-500 unidentified people.
