JCD leader shot dead
Unknown criminals shot dead a Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) leader at Chorgoal village in Gangni upazila of Meherpur district early yesterday.
The deceased, Haser Ali, 34, son of Sadman Ali of the village, was joint general secretary of Gangni upazila unit of JCD.
Police quoted victim's brother Monirul Islam as saying that a gang of 4/5 armed criminals intercepted Haser while he was going to his farmland around 5:30am.
They stabbed him mercilessly, shot him in the chest and left the scene. Haser died on the spot.
Being informed, police went to the spot, recovered the body and sent it to the hospital morgue for autopsy.
Haser was an absconding accused in a case for killing two Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists, Atahar and Habil, in 2006, said Akram Hossain, officer-in-charge of Gangni Police Station.
Criminals might have killed him as a sequel to previous enmity, the OC added.
No one was arrested in connection with the murder as of 6:00pm yesterday.
