His family will not file any case regarding the murder of Pir Abdur Rahman in Daulatpur, Kushtia. Abdur Rahman’s elder brother retired school teacher Fazlur Rahman confirmed this information in Prothom Alo on Monday morning. No one has been arrested in this incident till this afternoon.
Fazlur Rahman said, “Last night, the whole family decided not to file any case.” I can’t get him back who is gone. I will not go to unnecessary trouble. We are naive people.
Today around 12:30 noon, Daulatpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Arifur Rahman told Prothom Alo, “The family informed that they will come and file a case this morning.” But none of them came. Attempts are being made to arrest the people involved.
A few local residents, who did not want to be named, said that Pir Abdur Rahman alias Shamim made derogatory comments about the Holy Qur’an — a 30-second video a few years ago went viral on social media last Friday morning. This creates anger among different classes of people.
In view of this, hundreds of people gathered in Abeder Ghat area, half a kilometer away from Shamim’s Darbar, on Saturday morning. After noon they attacked the court and hacked and beat Shamim to death in the presence of the police.
In an 18-minute video that went viral on social media, hundreds of people marched towards Shamim’s darbar on the paved road of the village, chanting slogans. A part of the people in the procession entered the two one-story brick buildings and a tinshed house of his court. They ransacked the roofs of the buildings and set them on fire. According to eyewitnesses, five to seven people inside the palace were injured during the attack. Others ran away. The fire service personnel came and doused the fire.
