Unidentified assailants hacked a Juba League activist to death reportedly over previous enmity in Library Bazar area in the district on Thursday night.

The deceased, Md Munna Chowdhury, 35, son of Rawshan Ali of Gobinda area in the town, was going to settle a dispute among local boys, police said.

Officer-in-Charge of Pabna Sadar police Abdullah Al Hasan said Munna's younger brother Rajib had a conflict with local boys. As Munna went there to settle the conflict, unidentified criminals hacked him indiscriminately around 9:00pm on Thursday.

Locals rescued the victim and took him to Pabna General Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries around 10:00pm.

Fahimul Kabir Khan, publicity affairs secretary of Pabna district unit Juba League, associated youth body of ruling Awami League, said Munna was their activist.

“He was killed over previous enmity. It is not because of political conflict,” Fahim said, demanding punishment of the killers.

Police sent the body to Pabna Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy on Friday morning. Nobody was arrested as of filing this report last evening.
