SSC candidate killed in 'senior-junior' feud
A candidate of this year's SSC examination was killed in Rupatali area of Barisal city on Sunday night as a sequel to a row over “senior-junior” feud.
Abu Saleh, 18, son of Liton Mridha of Rupatali Sher-e-Bangla Road area, was a student of Nuria Secondary School in the city.
As a sequel to a previous altercation, Hridoy, an HSC student of Government Hatem Ali College and a resident in the area, hit Saleh in the head with a blunt object near Zahitunnesa Mahila Madrasa around 10:30pm, said locals.
Saleh was declared dead at Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital around 11:30pm.
Earlier, on November 18, a physical altercation took place between the duo as Hridoy refused to partner Saleh in a badminton match considering the latter as junior, said locals.
The next day, the locals arranged arbitration to reach a solution. But the duo got involved in altercations a few times afterwards. Sunday night's attack was the culmination of the series of altercations, the locals added. The body was sent to SBMCH morgue for an autopsy yesterday.
Senior assistant commissioner of Barisal Kotwali Police Station Md Farhad Sardar said the incident took place centering a row over senior-junior feud. Police are conducting drives to arrest the perpetrator, he added.
