Cartoonist Ahmed Kabir Kishore

Cartoonist Ahmed Kabir Kishore was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for medical check-up today, as per the High Court’s March 14 order.

Kishore’s elder brother writer Ahsan Kabir told The Daily Star that they started for DMCH around 12:45pm.

On March 14, the HC also asked the director of DMCH to form a three-member medical board to examine the torture that Kishore suffered in custody from May 2 to May 4 last year.

On March 10, Kishore filed a case under the Torture and Custodial Death (Prevention) Act-2013, seeking redress. He did not mention the name of any law enforcement agency or officials, instead choosing to file charges against a group of unidentified people.

The judge also took the case into cognisance and recorded his statement that day.
