Limon Hossain, whose left leg had to be amputated after being shot at by the Rapid Action Battalion on March 23, was sent to Jhalakati jail on Tuesday.
Senior judicial magistrate Nusrat Jahan sent Limon to jail and asked the prison authorities to inform the court by Wednesday morning of steps to be taken for Limon's treatment.
The National Human Rights Commission chairman, Mizanur Rahman, meanwhile, said that he was worried as the hospital authorities had discharged Limon before he fully recovered.
'We are extremely worried... I called the director of NITOR today to consider the issue of Limon on humanitarian grounds. I requested the NITOR director not to discharge Limon before his recovery... But they did it. Their move raises question about the role of physicians,' the commission chairman told New Age after he had made a call to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation director, Khandaker Abdul Aowal Rizvi, on Tuesday.
Aowal, however, told New Age as Limon's condition improved, the authorities decided to discharge him and also asked him to meet physicians after two weeks.
Limon was discharged from NITOR hospital in Dhaka about 10:00am, the hospital sources said.
Limon, an HSC examinee of Kathalia PGS Multipurpose Vocational School and College, was taken to Jhalakati on Tuesday for his production in court.
The prayer for Limon's bail in the case lodged by the battalion has been deferred for hearing till May 9 by Jhalakati district judge's court.
Limon's brother Hemayet Hossain Sumon said that Limon had not fully recovered so that he could be produced in court.
On March 23, immediately after the shooting incident, the battalion filed a couple of cases against him.
The New Age correspondent in Barisal said that the investigation officer of the case filed by Lilon's family against six battalion personnel has been changed.
