College teacher shot dead
Unidentified criminals shot dead a college teacher in Badlibari area under Lalpur upazila of the district yesterday.
The deceased was Mosharraf Hossain, 50, a lecturer of Maharkaya Degree Collage in the upazila, and son of Mohammad Ali of Peergachha under Bagha upazila in Rajshahi.
Tawhidul Islam, officer-in-charge of Lalpur Police Station, said a gang shot Mosharraf and took away his motorbike when he was returning home from the college around 1:00pm.
He was rushed to the upazila health complex where on-duty doctors declared him dead.
The motive of the murder could not be known immediately but police primarily suspected that the criminals shot the teacher for snatching his motorbike, said the OC.
“As far as I know, my brother has no enemy,” the victim's younger brother Liton said, adding that snatchers might have shot him to take away the motorcycle.
No case was filed in this connection as of filing of this report around 6:00pm yesterday, said the police official.
