A Bangladeshi national was reportedly killed by a fellow citizen in Jeddah on Friday after a heated argument over political issues back home.
“We have sent an official to look into the matter,” Consul General of Bangladesh Mission in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, M Nazmul Islam told the UNB over phone.
Quoting witnesses, Nazmul said there had been no injury mark on the body of deceased Deb Dulal Shutradhar of Feni.
He said Deb Dulal and Abdus Salam of Cox’s Bazar had been watching a news bulletin of a Bangladeshi television channel at a shop in the morning when they suddenly got engaged in a heated argument.
The shop owner asked them to get out of his shop. It is suspected that the killing took place after that.
Nazmul Islam said Salam was suspected of the killing.
