Several thousand sued over murder suspect’s death in Satkhira

Police today lodged a case against 5-7 thousand unnamed persons after locals allegedly beat to death the prime suspect in Satkhira’s Krishnanagar union parishad Chairman KM Mosharrof Hossain murder case last night.

Rajib Hossain, an inspector of Kaliganj Police Station, filed the case this morning with the police station accusing 5-7 thousand local villagers for allegedly snatching Abdul Jalil from the police and beating him to death.

Tense situation prevailed in the area amid fear of arrest of the locals in this connection, reports our Satkhira correspondent.

Locals snatched away Abdul Jalil Gain, a member of the union parishad, from police custody and gave him a thrashing last night. He died on the spot, claimed Hafizur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Kaliganj Police Station.

On September 8, Mosharrof, 48, also the assistant organising secretary of district Jatiya Party, was gunned down by unidentified criminals in Krishnanagar Bazar area.

Jalil had been on the run after the killing but locals caught him in Kaliakoir of Gazipur and handed him over to police. He was later handed over to Kaliganj Police Station in Satkhira.

Police official claimed that after interrogating Jalil, Kaliganj police took him to Krishnanagar but locals snatched him right after he got down from the police van.

The OC said police took Jalil to Krishnanagar to recovery illegal arms.
