A murder case was filed late Monday in Gaibandha’s Saghata upazila following the killing of Saifulllah Bari, the local president of the Bonarpara Union Chhatra Shibir. The victim’s father, Habibur Rahman, initiated the legal proceedings at Saghata Police Station, naming six individuals as suspects and listing another 14 to 15 unidentified persons.
Mukul Miah, the convener of the Bonarpara Union Juba Dal, has been identified as the primary suspect in the case. Saghata Police Station Inspector (Investigation) Pobitro Kumar confirmed the filing of the murder charges on Tuesday afternoon.
In response to the killing, police have arrested four suspects, including three individuals named in the initial complaint. The detainees were identified as Ashraf Khandaker, Robiul Islam, and Shah Alam, alongside Mofazzal Hossain, who was apprehended on suspicion of involvement. Authorities noted that search operations are currently underway to apprehend the remaining suspects, including the primary accused.
The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at the Bonarpara intersection, where 22-year-old Saifulllah Bari was fatally attacked. Preliminary investigations suggest the violence stemmed from a dispute over the formation of a local school management committee, involving clashes with members of the BNP and Juba Dal.
Another Shibir activist, Salauddin, sustained critical injuries during the same attack. After initially receiving emergency care at Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital in Bogra, his condition deteriorated, prompting his transfer to Dhaka for advanced treatment late Monday night. Medical staff report that he remains in critical condition.
