Police yesterday arrested two men in Mymensingh city for their involvement in forcibly shaving the hair and beard of 70-year-old Halim Uddin Akand. The arrestees were identified as Muzlu Mia, 50, and Sujon Mia, 32, of Kashiganj area in Tarakanda upazila. They were produced before a Mymensingh court this noon with a three-day remand prayer each, said Md Tipu Sultan, officer-in-charge of Tarakanda Police Station. Halim Uddin, locally known as Halim Fakir, was humiliated by a group of so-called social workers at Kashiganj Bazar in Tarakanda around four months ago. "They chased Halim for a long time before capturing him and cutting his hair, ignoring locals who tried to intervene," said Aslam.
