BCL leader killed in broad daylight
2009-06-02
[Bangla Daily Star] A local leader of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) was killed in broad daylight at a crowded market in Kapasia upazila of Gazipur Sunday noon. The deceased Mozammel Hossain, 32, was the vice president of BCL Torgaon union.

Locals and police said two miscreants -- Russel and Fazlu -- swooped on Mozammel when he went to Karim market at Nabipur under Torgaon union at round 1:00 pm. The miscreants hammered two rods into his head and legs. They also cut tendons of his legs and hands.
Oh. That's a new one. Ow.
Students and teachers of the local non-government primary school and people at the market witnessed the incident but none dared to come to his rescue.
I don't blame them.
The local BCL brought out processions at Kapasia Bazar Sunday night and yesterday protesting the killing. A group of agitating people blamed Jamal alias Jamal Military for the murder and set his house on fire.

Relatives took seriously injured Mozammel to the Orthopaedic Hospital in Dhaka where he died at around 9:00 pm the same day.

Kapasia Police Station Officer-in-charge (OC) Khandker Mizanur Rahman said Russel and Fazlu are known as criminals in the area. There are several cases against them with the local police station. He said the killing might have been caused following a the feud over some kind of business at the local market.

Gazipur Police Super Abdul Baten visited the spot Sunday night and additional policemen were deployed in the area to avert any untoward incident.
