Feni: A local leader of Jatiyatabadi Tanti Dal was hacked to death at Gunak village in Sonagazi upazila of Feni on Wednesday evening. The deceased was identified as Ayub Nabi Tarek, 26, organisational secretary of Bogadana Union Tati Dal and son of Kamal Uddin of Gunak village.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Tarek's father, Kamal Uddin, stated that his son was lured to a house in the same locality by Naru (also known as Nahar), the wife of Ohidur Rahman, on the pretext of settling an earlier dispute. He alleged that Ohidur Rahman's son Nahid, along with Sayeed, Niloy, and Naru, attacked Tarek using sharp weapons and sticks, leaving him dead on the spot.
Local sources reported that there had been tension for some time over allegations of an extramarital relationship between the victim and the wife of the main accused, Nahid. Locals speculated that the murder might have been linked to that dispute.
Police from Sonagazi Model Police Station rushed to the scene after receiving information and recovered the body. It was later sent to the morgue of Feni General Hospital for an autopsy, stated Officer-in-Charge of Sonagazi Model Police Station Md Kamrul Islam.
