‘Murder accused’ lynched in Rajshahi

An accused, who reportedly killed a fish trader, was beaten to death by locals in Rajshahi’s Bagmara on Friday.

The deceased was identified as Aminul Islam, 31, from Naogaon’s Atrai.

Touhidul Islam, officer-in-charge of Bagmara police station, said Aminul stabbed Abdur Razzak, 33, a fish trader, to death over previous enmity at Ranshibazar while he was having tea at a tea stall around 5:30pm.

Being chased by the local people, Aminul ran away and took shelter at a house around 7:30pm.

At one stage, locals caught Aminul, breaking open the door of the house and beat him mercilessly, leaving him dead on the spot.

Two policemen, including sub-inspector Sadiqul Islam, were injured when they tried to resist the locals from entering the house.
