Chhatra Dal leader hacked to death in Khulna

A leader of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal's Khulna Brajalal College unit has been hacked to death over extortion in the city’s Daulatpur area. The deceased, Abdullah Al Faisal alias Shiblu Molla, 26, was the son of Babu Molla. His uncle Kabir Hossain Kabu Molla is councillor of Khulna City Corporation's ward number four. Daulatpur police station Officer-in-Charge Md Anwar Hossain said the incident took place around 10pm on Tuesday. Abdullah's uncle blamed the local unit of the ruling Awami League student front but police said they suspected the murder was an outfall of an argument on share of extortion money. Abdullah was chatting with his friends when several miscreants came on a bike and attacked him with sharp weapons. The miscreants hacked Abdullah several time and fled when the locals rushed Abdullah’s rescue, the OC said. Doctors at Khulna Medical College Hospital pronounced him dead when he was taken there. OC Anwar and locals say Abdullah was involved in illegal activities. “He is accused in five case,” the OC added. Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) (special branch) Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Monira Sultana said police are initially suspected Rahmat and Arif for the murder. She said the suspects and Abdullah were close friends who and used to collect extortion from the area together. Arif and Adbullah's argument over the share of money created a rift among the trio. Police suspect Arif and Rahmat murdered Abdullah in front of Arif’s house, ADC Monira said. Besides, Arif and Rahmat went into hiding after the murder. Monira said police wrre trying to arrest the murderers and were looking into the incident. Abdullah’s uncle Kabir Hossain has accused local Chhatra League leader for the murder.
