College student dies 7 days after beating

A college student here yesterday succumbed to his injuries inflicted by some local miscreants seven days ago.
The deceased Sayeed Ahmed, 19, is the eldest son of Abu Taher and was studying in class 12 in the city's Eden Garden School and College.
A group of miscreants led by Murad and Mansur called Sayeed out of his house at Jatarpur area at midnight on October 5 and beat him with iron rods and pipes, said local sources.
The locals and pedestrians rescued Sayeed in an unconscious state and took him to MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital. He was later transferred to Ibne Sina Hospital, Sylhet.
Police conducted several raids at Bashir Miar Colony at nearby Sonarpara but none could be arrested.
The attack may be a sequel to a cricket match among the locals, added the locals.
