Family’s Account of the Killing
According to the family, the incident unfolded amid local tensions, when a group of people allegedly targeted the victim. The father claimed his son was dragged away, beaten to death, and his body desecrated to instil fear.
“This was not just murder, it was cruelty beyond imagination,” he said, adding that the family is struggling to cope with the brutality of the incident.
Police Action and Investigation
Law enforcement authorities in Bangladesh have confirmed that an investigation is underway. Police officials said several suspects have been detained for questioning and forensic examinations are being conducted to establish the sequence of events.
