Salek Uddin
“I beat him for an hour this morning. Then hung him in the lockup all day. Still won’t confess to the murder?”
“I didn’t kill anyone, sir.”
“Then who did?”
“Rahim uncle's mad son.”
“A son killing his own father? You expect me to believe that? Bastard. Guard, bring the needles.”
“What will you do with them?”
“Drive them under your fingernails.”
“I swear to God, sir, I didn’t kill Rahim uncle.”
“Still the same story? Push them in. Every nail. Until he confesses.”
“Oh Allah... save me!”
“Push harder.”
“Stop... please stop, sir. Pull them out. Yes—I did it. I killed Rahim uncle.”
“Guard, did you record that?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Sir, after how many needles did I become the murderer—”
