A worker of a ready-made garments factory has been killed by his fellow workers in Ulail area of Savar on Tuesday morning.
Deceased Shahjahan Shopon, 38, was a supervisor of Dynamic Dhaka Sweater Factory.
Police detained 10 workers of the factory after the incident. The detainees are: Baten Das, Rabiul Islam, Abul Basher, Mintu, Hasan, Enamul Islam, Sohel, Momin and Robiul.
Witnesses said around 30 to 40 workers of the factory were seen in front of Shopon's residence since morning. They chased Shopon as soon as he went out of the house around 10:30am.
Meanwhile, he took shelter inside a nearby madrasa. However, the workers brought him out of the madrasa and smashed his head with a brick.
Shopon was admitted to Enam Medical College and Hospital where the duty doctor declared him dead.
Confirming the matter, Savar Model police station Officer-in-Charge Mostafa Kamal said: "The factory authority had made an attack on the workers by hired terrorists. Workers claimed that the attack was made on Shopon's conspiracy."
The incident might have occurred following the attack on workers, said the OC.
