Mother of Limon Hossain filed a case with a Jhalakathi court on Sunday against six Rapid Action Battalion personnel for the sensational shooting and maiming of her 16-year old son a college student who worked at a brickfield at spare time to support the educational expenses of his elder sister and brother as well as himself.
The incident exposed by newspapers sent shockwaves across the nation.
Limon's dreams to support graduation of elder siblings and his own higher education now turned into a nightmare as he faces two cases, one for illegal possession of arms.
His brother and sister are studying in a college for graduation.
The complainant told reporters in an interview, that the earnings of her husband Tofazzal Hossain, who worked at a fruit shop at Savar, was too paltry to support the family and bear the educational expenses of three children.
She said that Limon was appearing in the ongoing Higher Secondary Certificate Examination under the Bangladesh Technical Education Board when the tragic incident took place.
The RAB personnel shot at and crippled Limon without caring to verify his identity when he was taking cows to grazing field in his village Saturia in Rajapur upazila in Jhalakathi district in the afternoon of March 23.
His mother, Henoara Begum, lodged the lawsuit with the court of Jhalakathi senior judicial magistrate Nusrat Jahan.
