A boy was beaten to death allegedly by staffers of a drug rehabilitation centre in Jashore.
The victim was identified as Mahfuzur Rahman, 20, from Chuadanga.
His father Moniruzzaman said Mahfuz had gotten addicted to some drugs, and so, on April 26, they admitted him to the rehabilitation centre -- "Madokasokti Niramoy O Punorbashon Kendra" -- in Jashore's Rail Road.
"On Saturday [May 22] evening, we got information that the rehabilitation centre's staffers have beaten my son to death and sent the body to Jashore General Hospital as an 'unidentified' body...We rushed to the hospital and found my son's body in the morgue."
