A human chain was formed today in Lalmonirhat's Patgram demanding justice for Abu Yunus Md Shahidunnabi Jewel, who was lynched and set on fire in Burimari in the upazila on Thursday.

People from all walks of life took part in the hour-long human chain at Chowrangi intersection this afternoon, reports our Lalmonirhat correspondent. They demanded immediate punishment of the people responsible for Jewel's death.

Locals at the human chain alleged that an anti-liberation group which is always active on Facebook provoked the incident.
