Man dies trying to flee captivity
A man died by drowning in the Baral river of Natore’s Bagatipara upazila while trying to escape detention yesterday afternoon.
The dead is Azizul Sheikh, 32, of the upazila’s Dayarampur area.
Abul Hasanat, additional superintendent of police (Sadar circle) in Natore, said a police team conducted a raid in the area to detain Azizul as they had information that Azizul was trading yaba.
Sensing police presence, Azizul tried to flee the scene. At one point, he jumped into the river and died on the spot, he added.
Police recovered the body and sent it to Natore Sadar Hospital for autopsy.
Azizul’s brother Rakibul Islam alleged that village policeman Yasin jumped into the river too.
“They had a scuffle in the water. Later, the policeman left the place, leaving my brother dead.”
