Jessore BCL man stabbed dead

Criminals stabbed to death an activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) in Jhikargachha upazila of Jessore on Saturday.

The victim was Milon Hossain, 26, son of Alam Hossain of Katakhal at Jhikargachha upazila headquarters.

The attending doctor at Jessore General Hospital declared Milon dead after he was rushed there, said Mizanur Rahman, cousin of the victim.

“Miscreants stabbed him in Jhikargachha upazila headquarters when he was returning home after attending a Victory Day programme,” he added.

The youth was brought dead to the hospital, said Dr Kollol Kumar Saha, medical officer of Jessore General Hospital.

In protest, local Awami League activists blocked Jessore-Benapole Highway and they freed the road around 5:00pm, following assurance by the administration, said Abu Saleh Mohammad Masud Karim, officer in charge of Jhikargachha Police Station.

Police are trying to find out clues behind the killing, he said.
