Garment worker beaten to death
After fighting for life for three days, a garment worker who was beaten up by local criminals succumbed to his injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) yesterday.
The victim, Masum Khalifa, was a supervisor of Panshi Knit Limited at Tongi, Gazipur.
Managing Director Jamal Hossain of Panshi Knit said some local criminals led by Belal dragged Masum out of the factory at Khapara in Gazipur and beat him up with iron roads on Sunday noon.
Severely injured Masum was rushed to a local clinic and later shifted to DMCH where he died.
On Thursday last, the same gang attacked Reaz, another worker of the factory, and Masum chased the attackers, which angered the gang.
During the Sunday's attack on Masum, factory workers caught Belal and handed him over to the police, Jamal said.
Tongi police said attackers Belal and his brother Helal were arrested and produced before a Gazipur court, which sent them to jail on Sunday.
