Dhaka: In yet another incident of lawlessness in Bangladesh under the current dispensation of Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus, a Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Mohammad Babul Mia was brutally beaten to death.
This unfortunate incident unfolded in front of his wife by his rivals in Dhaka’s Dhamrai Upazila on Friday afternoon, according to local media reports.
While speaking to the local media, Babul’s wife, Yasmin Begum, said “They beat him with sticks and SS pipes, seriously injuring him. They even gouged out both his eyes. When I and some locals tried to intervene and take him to a hospital, they stopped us. Only after he became unconscious did they leave the place.”
Babul was attacked by a group of people when he and his wife were harvesting mustard near Akshirnagar Housing. His wife stated that a long-standing dispute was going on among villagers over Akshirnagar Housing, a real estate business in Bangladesh, reports Bangladesh’s leading newspaper, The Daily Star.
Some others claim that the deceased, Babul, had a dispute with the attackers over the ownership of a pond, which might have led to his killing. (IANS)
