Boy head-shaven form stylist haircut.

Jhalakathi, Feb 8 – A man has allegedly shaved the head of a 12-year-old boy for what he said keeping stylist hair at Amirabad in Nalchiti upazila of Bangladesh’s southern district of Jhalakathi.

The incident took place on Monday at Amirabad Bazar in the upazila.

Faruk Hawladar, father of the boy lodged a complaint with Nalchiti Police in this connection, said officer-in-charge of Nalchiti Police Station, Ataur Rahman.

According to the complaint, the boy went to a barbershop to cut hair. After seeing his haircut Haidar Hawladar, uncle of the local chairman forcefully shaved boy’s head as punishment.

Enraged by the boy’s protest Haidar beat the boy before allowing him to go home.

Faruk demanded that the tormentor of his boy be punished.

He said Haider could have raised the matter with him instead of humiliating the boy. 

Contacted, Haidar admitted that he had the boy’s head shaved as his haircut was objectionable and this could spoil other teenagers.

Chairman of Magra Union, Enamul Haque, said if the incident is found to be true the offender will be punished.  

The officer-in-charge of the local police station said they got a complaint in this regard. Legal action will be taken if any evidence is found. - UNB
