Dog Trainer Accuses BDO of Torture, Links Him to Jeweler's Death
A man who trained dogs for a government official called a BDO says he stole some jewelry from the BDO's house.
He told the police he gave the jewelry to a man named Swapan Kamilla who owns a jewelry shop.
Recently, the BDO found out about the stolen jewelry.
The dog trainer said that on October 28th, the BDO and some other people took him and Mr. Kamilla to a building.
There, they were beaten up with things like a belt and a stick.
The dog trainer was let go later that day, but he doesn't know what happened to Mr. Kamilla after he left.
Sadly, Mr. Kamilla was found dead a few days later in New Town.
Mr. Kamilla's family is very upset and has told the police that they believe the BDO is responsible for kidnapping and killing him.
Some people saw Mr. Kamilla being taken to the building where he was later beaten.
The BDO says he didn't do anything wrong and that these accusations are not true and are just an attempt to hurt his reputation.
He also said he wasn't even in the city when the alleged beating happened.
