Unidentified miscreants killed a battery-run easy-bike driver and fled with the vehicle in Gopalganj, police said.
The body of the victim, identified as Sufian Chowdhury, 20, was recovered on Thursday night from the Gopinathpur bus stand area along the Dhaka–Khulna highway in Gopalganj Sadar upazila, said Mohammad Momenul Islam, inspector of the Gopinathpur police outpost.
Sufian, a resident of Singati village in Mollahat upazila of Bagerhat, was the son of Shukur Chowdhury. He had been living with his family in a rented house in Gobra village under Gopalganj Sadar.
According to police, Sufian left home with his easy-bike on Thursday morning but did not return at night. His family searched for him at various places. Later, locals found him lying on the road in a bloodied state at the Gopinathpur bus stand area and rushed him to the 250-bed Gopalganj General Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
Family members later identified the body at the hospital. Dr Aftab Zilani said the young man had died before being brought to the hospital.
