Youth killed over Jubo League men's clash

Activists allegedly belonging to the local unit of Jubo League killed a youth centring an internal feud in the district town on Sunday night.

The victim, Rimon Hossain, 27, son of Abul Hashem of Pailanpur village, was a garment shop employee in Pabna town, and a fellow of local Jubo League activist Nibir Rahman, said police and local party activists.

A group of five to six people waylaid and hacked Rimon in front of Khan Bahadur market in Pabna town when he was returning home from his shop around 9:00pm on Sunday, said Abdullah Al Hasan, officer in charge of Pabna Sadar Police Station.

Critically injured Rimon was admitted to Pabna Medical College Hospital where he died shortly afterwards.

"A clash occurred between Sajib Hossain and Nibir Rahman, both Jubo League activists, in front of Khan Bahadur market a few days ago over domination in the area. That time Rimon supported Nibir. He might have been attacked as a sequel to the incident," the OC said.
