Dhaka, Feb 22 (NationPress) In yet another episode of chaos in Bangladesh under the current leadership of Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus, a Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) official Mohammad Babul Mia was savagely killed. This tragic event occurred in front of his wife by his adversaries in Dhaka's Dhamrai Upazila on Friday afternoon, according to local news reports.
Speaking to the local press, Babul's wife, Yasmin Begum, stated, "They assaulted him with sticks and SS pipes, inflicting severe injuries. They even gouged out both his eyes. When I and several locals attempted to intervene and transport him to a hospital, they obstructed us. It was only after he lost consciousness that they departed the scene."
Reports indicate that Babul was attacked by a group while he and his wife were harvesting mustard near Akshirnagar Housing. His wife mentioned that a long-standing feud had been ongoing among villagers regarding Akshirnagar Housing, a real estate venture in Bangladesh.
Some residents allege that the deceased, Babul, had a conflict with his assailants over the ownership of a pond, which may have led to his murder.
He was subsequently rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Medical professionals reported that he arrived with severe injuries to his head, eyes, face, and legs.
The local police indicated that, based on the ongoing investigation, Babul was killed due to a protracted dispute. Efforts to apprehend those responsible for the murder have commenced.
Recently, senior BNP leader Shamsuzzaman Dudu criticized the interim government, stating, "Under the interim administration, workers have been murdered, and political leaders have been slain. The perpetrators must be held accountable without delay. Otherwise, discontent will escalate among the populace and political activists."
This violent occurrence has incited outrage throughout the South Asian nation, with many demanding Yunus resign as incidents of this nature continue to surge.
