Man beaten to death in Pabna for Tk 15,000
A 50-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death over non-payment of a loan in Pabna's Sujanagar yesterday.
The dead is Kashinath Haldar of the upazila's Bhobanipur village.
Kashinath's son-in-law Patan Haldar had borrowed Tk 15,000 from a local “loan shark” Abul Kalam a few months ago, with Kashinath being the guarantor, said the victim's son Milon Haldar.
Patan went to India a few days back and hearing the information, Kalam and his associates started forcing Kashinath to repay the amount, he added.
On Sunday night, Kalam's men attacked Kashinath as he could not repay the money after being asked several times, said Milon, adding that his father died on the way to hospital.
Milon filed a case against Kalam and his mother-in-law Romesa Khatun with Sujanagar Police Station on Monday morning, said Md Sariful Islam, officer-in-charge of the police station.
Police arrested Romesa yesterday while Kalam, the key accused in the case, was still on the run, said the OC, adding that the body was taken to Pabna Medical College for autopsy.
