Two brothers were beaten to death over a previous dispute at Bangalgachha area of Gazipur district on Friday.
The deceased were identified as two brothers Shafiqul Ali, 24 and Shukkur Ali, 26, sons of Abul Kashem, hailing from Mymensingh’s Nandail upazila and residents of Bangalgachha area of Gazipur district.
Relatives of the deceased said that two brothers Shafiqul and Shukkur Ali were killed on Friday night over a money dispute in Bangalgachha area.
They said Shafiqul lent some money to a shop trader named Russell. A few days ago, there was a fight between the two over this money transaction. On Friday evening, Russell called two brothers and along with other people beat them to death.
Ziaul Islam, officer-in-charge of Gazipur Metro Sadar Police Station, said being informed, police rushed to the spot and recovered the bodies and sent them to the morgue.
“However, both of them were released a few days ago after serving jail in a robbery case. They are professional robbers,” said the OC.
He also said that the crime scene unit of the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) and a team of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) have visited the scene to facilitate the investigation of the incident.
