Bogra Jubo Dal leader hacked to death

A Jubo Dal leader has been hacked to death in Bogra Sadar upazila allegedly over business disputes. Hazrat Ali, 45, son of late Abdus Sattar of Nishindara Mondolpara, was the joint general secretary of No 16 ward unit Jubo Dal. He was a sand trader. Police say he was in jail in connection with a murder case. Recently, he got bail and started his business again. A group of miscreants stopped him in front of Nishindara Mondalpara ward councillor’s office while he was returning to home around 1pm Sunday. They hacked him with sharp weapons, leaving him dead on spot. Later, police recovered the body and sent it to Shahid Ziaur Rahman Medical College and Hospital for an autopsy. Aslam Ali, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Sadar police, said: “We suspect that it was a pre-planned murder. Business rivals of Hazrat Ali may have killed him over business interests.”
