Police have arrested a man allegedly for torturing his 8-month-old son hanging from a tree for not getting dowry from his wife at Raghunathpur village in Lohagara upazila of the district. The arrestee is Mamun Sheikh, 33, of the village.

The accused was produced before the court which sent him to jail on Tuesday, added the OC.

According to the case statement, Mamun married Kulsum Begum 13 years ago. The couple has been blessed with three children.
