AL leader hacked dead

Miscreants hacked a local Awami League leader to death at Dubail in Gafargaon upazila of Mymensingh on Monday night.

The deceased is Mohar Uddin, vice-president of word-1 unit of Awami League under Niguari union and a resident of Makholkaldair in the upazila.

Officer-in-charge of Pagla police station Chan Miah said the miscreants swooped on Mohar in the area around 8:30pm while he was returning home from Gayeshpur Bazar.

The attackers chopped him indiscriminately with sharp weapons, leaving him injured, he said.

Locals rescued the Awami League leader and took him to Sreepur upazila health complex in Gazipur where doctors declared him dead.

The killing might have occurred following previous enmity, the OC added.
