They also demanded that due legal measures should be initiated against Wahidur Rehaman so that he is given befitting punishment.
Police should not play favouritism or nepotism and ensure that the case registered in connection with the incident is brought to its logical conclusion without any partiality.
Speaking to media persons, parents of the victim said that Wahidur Rehaman levelling false charges against Rahis Khan after beating up the boy for no reason was dastardly and inhuman.
Apart from the physical injuries, the boy is now suffering from fear psychosis.
While seeking attention of the civil society, the parents appealed to the authority concerned to take up necessary actions against Wahidur Rehaman and ensure that justice is done to victimised boy.
