The reason behind the murder of Bangladesh Chhatra League Badda unit vice president Mofazzal Hossain Rahin may be due to an internal clash between two factions of the group, suspects Badda police.
Rahin was shot dead in on Sunday night and another Manu Miah, his friend, was injured in the attack.
However, a case is yet to be filed in this connection.
Badda Police Station Offier-in-Charge (OC) M Abdul Jalil said: “Rahin’s brother informed us that they will file a case with the police station after completing Rahin’s burial.”
The OC said it may be due to an internal clash which arose over the huge amount of money the Badda Jagoroni Sangsad (club) made from the Aftabnagar cow hut and various other sources.
When asked about suspects he said opposition group member Rabin, Dalim, Mahabub, Tanvir and Ovi were on the list but no one were arrested or detained.
Residents of the area informed that a local criminal Saidul, backed by Badda Thana unit AL leader Talal Rizvi, occupied a room of the club that Rahin uses and that triggered a conflict. They also said about a month ago associates of Rahin attempted to kill Saidul.
Locals claimed Rahin might have been killed to keep him from taking part in the club committee election scheduled to be held soon.
However, the information could not be verified immediately as police did not make any comment on the matter.
