A farmer named Nur Mohammad, 50, has been hacked to death in Moheshpur, Jhenaidah, after he asked for money he was owed, his family allege. The attack took place at around 11am on 13 November in the Purahuda field in Moheshpur upazila. The victim’s relatives allege that four or five people, including Jasim Uddin, were involved.
Nur Mohammad lived in Mandartala Para in Chaugachha upazila, Jashore. He was the son of the late freedom fighter Hanef Ali Biswas.
According to his elder son Roni, neighbours and police sources, about a year ago Nur Mohammad was owed money from a land sale by Lutfar Rahman of Purahuda village in Moheshpur upazila, Jhenaidah, and his son Jasim. They farmed in the same field. When they met in the field that day, Nur Mohammad asked Jasim for the money he was owed. The two argued, and at one point Jasim struck Nur Mohammad again and again with a sharp hasua (a curved blade) he was carrying, leaving him badly wounded.
Local people took him to Jashore 250-bed General Hospital, where he died under treatment at around 2pm.
Imran Alam, officer-in-charge (OC) of Moheshpur police station, confirmed the incident. He said police visited the scene on receiving the news and are still there, and that further legal steps are in progress.
