returning home Limon was stopped by the RAB team. Md.
Lutfor Rahman, Deputy Assistant Director (DAD) of the
Crime Prevention Company No. 01 of the RAB-8 based in
Barisal city, asked Limon's name and started beating him and
accusing him (Limon) to be a 'terrorist'. Limon, who used to
manage his tuition fees by working as a part-time labourer at
a local brick factory due to his family’s poverty, claimed that
he was a student and gave the name of his college. DAD
Lutfor and his colleagues refused to accept Limon's
statement and attempted to kill him by pointing a gun at him.
Limon cried out in fear and requested the RAB personnel not
to kill him. Suddenly, DAD Lutfor shot him, pointing the gun
at his left thigh. Limon fell on the ground and lost
consciousness . Later, in the evening, when he regained
consciousness, Limon found himself at the Sher-E-Bangla
Medical College Hospital in Barisal city . Late that night, DAD
Lutfor filed two criminal cases (No. 10 and 11) with the
Rajapur police station accusing Limon and seven others
claiming an incident of encounter between a so called group
of terrorists and the RAB-8. The second case (First
Information Report- FIR No. 11 of the Rajapur police station,
dated March 23, 2011) was registered under Sections 322,
353, 307 and 34 of the Penal Code-1860 for obstructing the
law-enforcement agencies in discharge of their duties and
attempted murder.
As a result of this deliberate shooting, the left leg of Limon
had to be amputated on March 27 by the doctors of the
