Ex Ramna Swecchasebak Dal convener stabbed dead in city
A former convener of Swecchasebak Dal in Ramna was stabbed to death during a salish (arbitration) meeting near Mouchak Anarkali Market in the capital on Monday night.
The deceased was identified as Billal Hossain Talukdar, 57, a former convener of Ward No. 19 Swecchasebak Dal under Ramna Police Station.
According to police and local sources, Billal was allegedly attacked during a dispute resolution meeting in front of Mouchak Anarkali Market. He sustained critical injuries in the attack.
He was rescued and taken to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital around 9:20 pm, where doctors declared him dead after examination.
Confirming the incident, Assistant Commissioner (AC) of the Ramna Division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Mazahar said the stabbing occurred around 9:30 pm.
“Preliminary information suggests that Billal was stabbed to death over a salish. The attackers fled the scene immediately after the incident,” he said.
The body has been sent to the morgue of Dhaka Medical College Hospital for an autopsy, the police official added.
