A suspected outlaw was killed allegedly by his rivals in Jhenidah yesterday while police arrested four alleged cadres of an outlawed party in Kushtia and Meherpur on Sunday night.
A suspected member of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP) was murdered allegedly by rivals in Kotchandpur upazila in Jhenidah early yesterday.
Police arrested another suspected PBCP member, Haider Ali, in connection with the murder, hours after the incident yesterday, reports our correspondent.
The deceased was identified as Chand Mia, 35, of Kutidurgapur village in Sadar upazila. Although he was a human hauler driver, police claimed that he was a PBCP man.
