Locals formed a human chain at Baniajuri bus stand on Dhaka-Aricha highway yesterday demanding punishment to a person for allegedly torturing wife for dowry.
The protesters said that accused H M Hasibul Hasan also tortured his first wife Taslima Akter to death.
Victim Kamrunnahar, 28, daughter of Anwar Hossain of Noya-Char village of Ghior was married to HM Hasibul Hasan, 32, son of Hafez Uddin of Baniajuri-Kundarabari village of the upazila in 2009, family sources said.
After a few days of their marriage, Hasibul and his family members started torturing Kamrunnahar demanding dowry.
Kamrunnahar's family gave a motor cycle, 3 tolas of gold ornaments and furniture worth about Tk50, 000 to Hasibul at that time.
But they again demanded Tk one lakh from Kamrunnahar's family for purchasing computer for Hasibul's shop on June 19 this year.
As she refused to comply, Hasibul, his brother Abu Bakkar and mother Hazera Begum beat up Kamrunnahar mercilessly forcing her to take shelter at the house of neighbour Ishak Mia.
Later, some locals and Ishak Mia sat to resolve the matter. But Hasibul said he will divorce Kamrunnar if her family failed to meet their demand.
Kamrunnahar lodged a case with Ghior police station on June 24 under Women Repression Prevention Act 2000 against dowry greedy Hasibul, his brother Abu Bakkar and mother Hazera Begum.
