He was beaten up by ‘a Natore upazila chairman’
An activist of Natore Chhatra League, who was allegedly beaten up by the district's Naldanga Upazila Parishad Chairman Asaduzzaman Asad on Monday, died while undergoing treatment at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital yesterday.
Jamiul Islam Jibon, 24, member of Naldanga upazila unit BCL, succumbed to his injuries at the hospital around 1:20pm, said RMCH's ICU in-charge Abu Hena Mostafa Kamal.
"We could not save Jibon despite our efforts. He died at 1:20pm," Abu Hena told our Natore correspondent.
Jibon's mother Jahanara Begum filed a case against Awami League-backed chairman Asad and her two brothers on Tuesday.
Shafiqul Islam, officer-in-charge of Naldanga Police Station, saidJibon recently brought an allegation of corruption and irregularity against chairman Asad during a live stream on Facebook.
Following this, chairman Asad, his two brothers and 4-5 unidentified people beat up Jibon with iron rods and sticks at Ramshakajipur Amtali Bazar in Naldanga upazila around 7:00pm on Monday, according to the case statement.
Jibon's father Farhad Hossain was also beaten up as he tried to protest the attack on his son.
The injured were admitted to RMCH at night where doctors discharged Farhad the next day. However, Jibon was sent to the ICU.
