Two Jubo League men murdered

Criminals shot dead a local Jubo League leader in Meherpur while an activist of the same party was stabbed to death in Noakhali early yesterday.
Mohiruddin, 45, Jubo League president of Bamundi union unit in Gangni upazila under Meherpur district, was picked up by a gang of 6/7 criminals from his house at Nishipur village around 5:30am, reports our Kushtia correspondent.
The gang took Mohiruddin to Shukurkandi on Kushtia-Meherpur road and shot three bullets at him, leaving him dead, said Bimol Krishna Mollik, officer-in-charge (OC) of Gangni police station.
Local Awami League and its associate bodies brought out a procession with the body around 9:00am.
They also blocked Kushtia-Meherpur road demanding immediate removal of district Superintendent of Police Abdullah Hel Baki for what they said 'failure to maintain law and order in the district'.
Jubo League leader Mohiruddin was murdered due to political reasons, said Shahiduzzaman Khokon, president of Gangni upazila unit of AL.
Gangni police station OC Bimol Krishna Mollik, on the other hand, said, "Mohiruddin, also a listed drug trader in the area, went into hiding after he was made No 3 accused in a case filed for killing two siblings in Meherpur on May 6. He returned home on Sunday morning."
