Mystery shrouds death of Jubo League man
Police recovered the body of a Jubo League leader from Prattyasha drug addiction recovery centre at Ghatura Goutampara in Sadar upazila Monday.
The body was sent to Brahmanbaria Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy.
The dead was Sohel, general secretary of Jubo League Ward no 5 unit, and son of Elem Miah from Chhatiain village in Budhal union.
Family members alleged that Sohel was tortured to death. On the other hand, Md Jamal, a director of the drug addiction recovery centre, claimed that he committed suicide.
However, he could not say anything specific about the cause of 'suicide'. Tension has been prevailing in the area after the incident.
The victim's cousin Farid Miah, a member of Budhal union parishad, said Sohel was admitted to the centre on Sunday noon.
On Monday evening, they came to know that Sohel was dead. However, they think he was killed.
Sub-Inspector Mehedi Hasan Khan of Brahmanbaria Sadar Model Police Station said the body was found lying on a bed of the centre.
Whether it is a case of suicide or murder will be confirmed after getting the autopsy report, said the SI.
