Injured Sujan Munshi told reporters as to the reason for the attack, “Three years ago, a fight took place between Ripon Khan and Kalam Mandal in our village in front of my brother. In that incident, the accused did not do anything to make my brother a witness in the case. From that time Kalam’s anger, my brother witnessed why. That’s why my brother was called. When I found out and ran, he first scolded me with Ramada. Then my brother started scolding. My brother ran to a house and escaped but was dragged out from there and hacked to death.

Regarding the incident Charbhadrasan Sadar Union Parishad member of Ward No. 5 said. Babul Molla said that both parties are identified as evil people in the area. However, there are more allegations of misdeeds against Kalam Mandal and his people in the village. He said, “Some of them work as masons, and some are expatriates. They came to the area and got involved in various misdemeanors including drugs.

None of the accused Kalam Mandal, Sattar Mandal and Shah Barat Mandal could be reached for comment on the allegations. Since they are absconding since the incident, their mobile numbers are also blocked. Niru Begum (64), the mother of the two injured, said, “My two sons are innocent boys.” They work and eat rice. I want justice for those who attacked them and amputated their hands and feet.

Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Charbhadrasan police station. Anwar Hossain confirmed the truth of the incident and said that the preliminary investigation revealed that the attack occurred due to a dispute over local sovereignty.

In this incident, Haider’s mother Niru Begum has filed a case last night naming Kalam Mandal, Sattar Mandal and Shah Barat as the plaintiff and accused some unknown others. Multiple teams of police are conducting operations to arrest the accused in the case.
