According to the case documents, Al-Amin and Ishrat Jahan got married on December 26, 2012, and they became parents of two children. Al-Amin on regular occasions, used to beat his wife for Taka 20 lakh as dowry. He threw her out of home on couple of times as Ishrat's father failed to manage the money.
But Al-Amin allegedly kept on torturing her. Finally on August 25, 2022, Al-Amin started punching and kicking her indiscriminately and threatened to divorce her and file fake case against her. Ishrat's uncle took her to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital for treatment.
