tion that found no evidence against the elite force.
She also sought a judicial probe into the incident and justice for her son.

Police on August 14 submitted the report to the court, saying they had found no evidence and witnesses in the attempted murder case filed by Henoara.
She filed the case against six men of the Rapid Action Battalion with Rajapur Police Station on April lOlast year.
In the case statement, she said the accused, without verifying Limon's identity, shot him in the left leg on March 23 last year when he was bringing cattle back home after grazing them at Chhaturia village under Rajapur upazila of Jhalakathi.
Later, the injured leg had to be amputated to save him from the spread of infections.
The she accused in the case are Deput)' Assistant Director of Crime Prevention Company-1 Lutfor Rahman, Corporal Majaharul Islam, Nayek Moktadir Hossain, Nayek Prahlad Chandra, soldier Kartik Kumar Biswas and
constable Abdul Aziz of Barisal Rab-8.
Jhalakathi Senior Judicial Magistrate Nusrat Jahan accepted the petition and asked Nazmul Alam, general registrar officer of Rajapur Police Station, to submit all documents related to the case by October 17 before the hearing on the petition.
Meanwhile, eminent citizens and rights activists along with local, political, social and cultural organisations formed a human chain in the morning before the Jhalakathi Press Club to mobilise support for 17-year-old college student Limon.
The victim and his mother Henoara also joined the programme organised by Human Rights Defenders Forum.
The government must ensure that law enforcers are subject to legal limits, the participants at the human chain said.
"When I lost my leg, I thought my wish to continue my studies would never
come true. But thanks to you all who supported me all along to come to this far," Limon said.
The assault on Limon is a symbol of widespread injustice prevailing in the country, said rights activist Khushi Kabir, adding, "Law enforcers' unjust attitude towards civilians must end."
"We demand swift justice for Limon. It should not take this long," Hamida Hossain, president of rights organisation Ain O Salish Kendra, said.
Dhaka University Prof MM Akash said, "We don't want to be known as an uncivilised nation to the world with the justice being delayed."
The eminent citizens also went to Idurbari bridge in Saturia village where Limon's family recently came under attack by Rab informant Ibrahim. They called on Jhalakathi district Deputy Commissioner Ashok Kumar Biswas and Superintendent of Police Mazid Ali separately.
