None held yet for bank guard murder

Over six months into the killing of a night guard of Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank's Teesta branch in Sadar upazila, police are yet to find out any clue to the murder or arrest anybody in this connection. 

Bank officials and the victim's family members are getting frustrated over the slow progress in the case.

Bank guard freedom fighter Abdur Rashid, 65, of Ratipur village in Sadar upazila was hacked to death by unidentified criminals inside the bank in the early hours on August 16 last year. However, the gang could not take away money from the locker.

Contacted several times for the last six months, police only said they are investigating the case properly, said branch Manager Mohammad Al-Qurani.

The victim's son Masum Miah said police seemed reluctant to arrest the accused due to unknown reason.

However, Mahfuz Alam, officer-in-charge of Sadar Police Station, said the law enforcers have already identified some culprits but they have gone into hiding.
