Councillor aspirant murdered
A councillor aspirant in the last Bogra municipality election was hacked to death by a gang of criminals at Nishindhara Mondalpara in the town yesterday.
The deceased was identified as Hazrat Ali Mondal, 37, of Bogra municipality.
Police and locals said the criminals on motorcycles hacked Hazrat to death in front of the ward No 16 councillor's office and fled the scene immediately.
Victim's wife Sathi Akter blamed the local councillor as he sent his man to call Hazrat out of his house, saying that her husband had a feud with Councillor Jahurul Islam Mondal over the municipality election.
Police said Hazrat might have been killed due to the feud over the election.
Refuting the allegation, Jahurul said he had no relation with Hazrat for the last two years.
Sadar Police Station Inspector (Investigation) Aslam Ali said Hazrat might have been killed over establishing supremacy in the area.
