Man beaten to death for protesting stalking
A man died yesterday after he was beaten allegedly by some youths on Wednesday night as he protested stalking of his niece in Charmonoi village under Barisal Sadar.
The deceased Abdul Khaleq Howlader, 60, of the village was the maternal uncle of the girl.
Victim's family said Tushar Hossain, 20, a polytechnic student and a local, used to tease the girl, a class-six student, on her way to school.
Recently, Khaleq warned Tushar not to stalk his niece and complained about the stalking to Tushar's father.
Being angry, Tushar with his six to seven associates attacked Khaleq at Chader Baazar with sticks on Wednesday night injuring him badly.
Locals rushed Khaleq to Barisal Sher-E-Bangla Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries early yesterday.
Awlod Hossain, officer-in-charge of Barisal Kotwali Police Station, said they were trying to arrest Tushar.
