The deceased is Lalon Fakir, 28, of Dumuritala village, reports our Pirojpur correspondent quoting Md Ajmir Hossain Majhi, chairman of Shariktala union.
On Saturday night, some 15 to 20 people led by one Babu Sheikh allegedly hacked him in Battala area in the upazila with sharp weapons while he was returning home after attending a programme of independent candidate from Pirojpur-1 constituency AKMA Awal Sayedur Rahman, said locals.
