Boy killed by ‘classmates’ in Kishoreganj
Three held
Police yesterday recovered a throat-slit body of a 16-year-old student in Kishoreganj’s Bhairab upazila. He was allegedly abducted and murdered by his classmates.
The dead is Sardin Alam Rupak, son of Noore Alam Biplob, a cement trader in Bhairab municipality. He passed his Secondary School Certificate exams this year from Bhairab’s KB Pilot High School.
Rupak’s classmates abducted him with a motive of collecting ransom from his father. As Rupak learned about his abductors’ plan, he strongly protested and said he would expose their plan publicly, said Bahalul Alam Khan Bahar, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Bhairab Police Station.
Fearing arrest, the abductors killed Rupak, kept his body inside a sack and left it in a building, Bahar added.
The victim’s father filed a murder case against five with the police station.
Muklesur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Bhairab Police Station, said Rupak went out of his home around 8:00pm on Thursday as one of his friends called him over phone. But he did not return home at night.
Although his family members searched him here and there, they could not get any trace. Later, they informed Rab of the incident and lodged a general diary with the police station, the OC said.
On information, police raided a building in Bhairabpur Dakhhinpara area of the municipality and recovered Rupak’s body. The body was sent to Kishoreganj General Hospital morgue for an autopsy, the OC added.
Meanwhile, police detained three classmates of Rupak yesterday for interrogation.
Mashrukur Rahman Khaled, superintendent of Kishoreganj police, visited the spot, met the victim’s family members and instructed the law enforcers to swiftly take legal actions against the culprits.
