Miscreants hacked a grandmother and grandson to death in the expatriate’s house in Hajiganj, Chandpur. Another granddaughter was seriously injured in the incident and was sent to Comilla Medical Hospital and later from there to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
The incident happened on Monday night (May 27) at Bakaul house in Paschim Radhasa, Bakila Union No. 2 of the upazila.
The victims of the robbery attack are Arafat (12), a sixth grade student of Sreepur High School and his grandmother Hamida (70), son of Yusuf of Bakaul Bari.
In this incident, Yusuf’s daughter Halima (14), a ninth grade student of Sreepur High School, was seriously injured by the miscreants. The doctor said that his condition is critical.
Bablu of Khan Bari of that village said that at around 12:30 am, Shahin, the mother of deceased Arafat, called and told that robbers entered their house and killed many people. Later the sermon was preached on the microphone of the local mosque. Later, I went to that house with some people and found the body of the expatriate Yusuf’s mother lying on the bed. His son Arafat and daughter Halima are lying injured below. Their bodies are bleeding.
He said, with the help of the imam of the local mosque and others, he carried the injured on the road and took an auto-rickshaw from the neighboring house to the hospital. Arafat died on the way. Arafat’s sister Halima was referred to Comilla from the hospital. I heard that they have been referred to Dhaka Medical for better treatment from there. His back and chest were bruised.
Autorickshaw driver Zaheer said that it was raining heavily at night. After about 12:30 local people brought the injured Arafat and his sister Halima to my house. Later we brought them to Hajiganj Upazila Health Complex by battery powered auto rickshaw.
Locals said that the bandits entered the house for the purpose of robbery, but no gold ornaments were lost from the house. Even the neck and ears of the dead old woman have gold ornaments.
The officer-in-charge (OC) of Hajiganj police station Muhammad Abdur Rashid said that he went to the scene at night after hearing the news of the murder due to heavy rain. Initially, it is believed that the murder may have happened due to a family dispute. The matter is being looked into seriously. Details can be said after the investigation.
