Judge KM Imrul Kayes issued the order on Sunday after Kishore filed an appeal to initiate a case against unidentified men on charges of torturing him before he was shown arrested in a case under the Digital Security Act in May 2020.
The court assigned the Police Bureau of Investigation to open the probe and submit a report by Apr 15, the court's Public Prosecutor Taposh Paul told bdnews24.com.
The cartoonist said the torture damaged his right ear and leg. He was hospitalised after his release on bail on Mar 4 and underwent tests, including check-ups of his eyes and ears as well as an X-ray of his legs.
