Former UP member killed in B’baria
A former union parishad member was killed in an attack reportedly by his rival at Prato Bazar in the district's Sarail upazila on Thursday night.
The victim was identified as Abu Bakar Siddique, 55, former member of Sadar Union Parishad.
Quoting locals, OC Shahadat Hossain Titu of Sarail Police Station said Shah Alam member and Abu Bakar had been at loggerheads since Shah Alam's two brothers were assaulted by some supporters of Abu Bakar before the Eid-ul-Azha last year.
Around 8:00pm on Thursday, supporters of Shah Alam swooped on Abu Bakar and stabbed him indiscriminately, leaving him badly injured.
Later, he was taken to a local hospital where doctors declared him dead.
Additional policemen were deployed in the area to avert any further trouble.
