Rickshaw-puller kills roommate
A rickshaw-puller killed a fellow worker -- hitting him in the head with a brick -- following a row in Narayanganj’s Fatullah area early yesterday.
The deceased was identified as Suruj Miah (57) from Mymensingh.
Police arrested the accused rickshaw-puller Abdul Gani (56), also from Mymensingh, said Mizanur Rahman, inspector (investigation) of Fatullah Model Police Station.
Inspector Mizanur said that five rickshaw-pullers were staying in a single room at Khilmarket area. Around 5am yesterday, Abdul Gani locked into an altercation with Suruj Miah over sleeping in the bed, he said.
Abdul hit Suruj with a brick -- leaving him critically injured.
Others sharing the room took Suruj to Narayanganj General Hospital. He was later shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
“Doctors at DMCH declared Suruj dead yesterday noon,” said the inspector. Police have arrested the accused.
