A case was lodged with Nabiganj police station yesterday afternoon against five persons in connection with the death of a transgender.
The deceased was Adar Kha.
Dilu Kha, elder brother of the deceased, filed the case against the five, including Belal Chowdhury, brother of JaPa lawmaker Abdul Munim Chowdhury from Habiganj 1 constituency.
It was learnt that all the accused fled the locality after the case had been lodged.
On Saturday night Adar Kha was beaten to death over allegation of a mobile phone theft from the business establishment of Belal Chowdhury.
The victim later succumbed to her injuries at Nabiganj upazila health complex.
Locals said Belal, brother of Lawmaker Abdul Munim Chowdhury, beat Adar Kha.
Police, however, refused the allegation.
Lawmaker Munim Chowdhury claimed that local auto-rickshaw drivers beat up Adar Kha.
He denied that his brother was involved in the beating.
Nabiganj police station Officer-in-Charge Jahangir Alam said a case had been lodged with the police station in connection with the death.
