A gang of robbers killed a housewife and seriously injured her husband and daughter during a home invasion in Gazipur’s Kaliganj Upazila early Saturday. The incident occurred at the residence of a local businessman in the Nagorbela area of Nagari Union.
The victim was identified as 35-year-old Kamrun Nahar Akter. Her husband, 41-year-old rod and cement trader Manjurul Islam, and their 16-year-old daughter, Sanjida Akter, sustained severe injuries during the attack.
According to police and local residents, a group of 10 to 12 armed individuals broke the lock on the gate of the family’s tin-shed house around 4:00 a.m. The perpetrators reportedly held residents of neighboring homes hostage to prevent interference before forcing their way inside the residence. When the family members attempted to resist and raised an alarm, the intruders attacked them with sharp weapons.
The assailants fled the scene as neighbors began to gather in response to the commotion. Kamrun Nahar Akter died at the scene, while her husband and daughter were rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.
Officer-in-Charge of the Ulukhola police camp, Sub-Inspector Md. Faizur Rahman, confirmed the fatality and the hospitalization of the survivors. Authorities have not yet determined if any valuables or assets were stolen, as the family remains under medical care and the crime scene remains secured.
Kaliganj Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md. Zakir Hossain stated that initial investigations suggest the attackers operated as a coordinated gang. He added that a crime scene unit has been dispatched to the residence to collect forensic evidence. Law enforcement officials have launched an investigation to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
