District unit Jubo Dal yesterday brought out a procession in Rangpur town demanding arrest and punishment to the alleged killers of party activist Mosharraf Hossain Padmo. Jubo Dal also handed over a memorandum to the deputy commissioner (DC) with an ultimatum of 24 hours for arrest of the 'killers'. The alleged killers are Fuhad, Farhad and Firoj, also three brothers, hailing from Munshipara area in the town, district unit Jubo Dal president Rois Ahmed said. He also blamed police for their inaction to arrest the 'killers' as they were Jubo League cadres. He threatened to launch a non-stop agitation if the police fail to arrest the culprits within 24 hours of their ultimatum. Padmo was killed near Rangpur Keramotia High School intersection on Saturday night while going to his house riding a motorbike. Police, however, arrested Ferdousi Begum, mother of the alleged killers, from near Munshipara graveyard. Locals slated police for arrest of Ferdousi instead of the actual killers. Asked, the OC said Ferdousi is an accused in the murder case on charge of ordering her sons to kill Padmo. Contacted, Kotwali police station officer-in-charge (OC) Haider Ali Mollah said, Padmo might have been killed following a previous enmity over cable network business. However, the three killers fled away just after the killing. Last year, Padmo and his accomplices stabbed Fuhad and Farhad at the same place for the same reason, the OC said. Last year, two people were killed at Munshipara due to enmity over cable network business.
