| 'Criminal' beaten to death |
| 2011-05-31 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] A 'listed criminal' was beaten to death by a mob at Korail slum in the capital's Mohakhali yesterday. Nice going, mob... The dear departed, Mosharraf Hossain alias Mosha, 32, was a runaway accused in 10 cases, including two for murder and two for assault on the police, claimed Mohammad Shah Alam, officer-in-charge (OC) of Gulshan Police Station. So Mosha's mother didn't love him... However, The wishy-washy However... family members of the dear departed claimed that he was beaten to death following a long standing feud over ownership of some shanties with a ward level Swechchhasebok League leader's men. The OC said a team of police cordoned off Korail slum around 11:00am after being informed that Mosharraf and his gang were at the slum. Spider senses tingling at the proximity of the law enforcers, Mosharraf took shelter in a shanty while the other gang members managed to flee the scene. ... as though they had never been... At one stage, he left the shanty and dived into the lake water. Angry slum dwellers dragged him from water and beat him indiscriminately around 12:00noon leaving him critically injured. "He's mortally wounded!" Doctors declared Mosharraf dead around 1:00pm when he was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Did they really need a doctor to do that? Police claimed Mosharraf used to collect tolls from the slum and adjacent areas. Brother of the dear departed, Rafiqul Islam, who was also general secretary of BNP ward no-19, said their family owns around a hundred shanties in the slum and also runs electricity supply business there. But the Swechchhasebok League leader's men had been trying to grab the properties since this government took power. The leader's men also filed several false cases against Mosharraf with different cop shoppes, he claimed. |
