‘AL men’ beat JCD leader's brother to death in Sylhet


SYLHET, Dec 25 (UNB): A man was allegedly beaten to death by an Awami League (AL) leader and his associates in Tukerbazar area of Sylhet Sadar upazila on Tuesday night.
The deceased is Sheikh Uddin (50), son of late Fazar Ali of Shahpur Dakshinpara in Tukerbazar. Sheikh Uddin was the elder brother of Zainul Ahmad Joy, convenor of Sylhet Sadar upazila Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD).
According to Joy, the incident occurred on Friday after Jumma prayers.
He said dispute over land had been ongoing with local AL activist Shah Mia. Sheikh Uddin approached Lilu Mia, convener of Ward 39 AL in Sylhet City Corporation to seek a resolution. However, instead of addressing the complaint, Lilu Mia allegedly sided with Shah Mia and began assaulting Sheikh Uddin.
