College student murdered
Criminals hacked a college student to death in broad daylight in front of his college in Sadar upazila yesterday.
Victim Mahfuzur Rahman Limon, 18, was an HSC student at Faridpur Muslim Mission College (FMMC) at Komorpur.
He was a son of Arob Ali, labour welfare secretary of Faridpur Sadar upazila Awami League.
Police arrested Md. Akram Khan alias Ahmmad Khan, son of Akter Khan, of Shovarampur village for interrogation.
Locals said, five to six criminals swooped on Limon at around 10:30am when he was going to college at Komorpur and stabbed him indiscriminately. He was rushed to Faridpur General Hospital where the on-duty doctor declared him dead.
Police later sent the body to Faridpur Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy.
The murder might have been a sequel to conflict over affairs with a girl, said Abul Basar, sub- inspector of Faridpur Kotwali police station.
Some of Limon's classmates were said to be involved in the killing, he said.
Abdullah Al Mamun, principal of FMMC, condemning the killing said Limon was very gentle boy. He demanded punishment to the criminals.
