On May 17, a Dhaka court Helaluddin in absentia to three years’ imprisonment and fined him Tk 10,000 for torturing Dhaka University student Abdul Quader.

Later, the OC severely tortured Quader and forced him to give a confessional statement in a case. At one stage, Helal smacked him with a machete and stick, leaving the DU student critically injured.
Following instruction by the High Court, Abdul Quader filed a case against OC Helal on January 23, 2012.
