Thursday, 28 April 2022


Police say they have not found any clue about the assailants responsible for the death of Md Morsalin, who was fatally injured during the violent clashes in Dhaka's New Market area on Apr 19, reports bdnews24.com.
According to witnesses and police, 26-year-old Morsalin, worked at a New Market clothing store and was struck by a rather large brickbat in front of the Nurjahan Market around noon that day.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Mohammad Mahbub Alam, joint commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police, said they have yet to identify the person who threw the brickbat at Morsalin. They are not even sure if it was a deliberate attempt to hurt the shopkeeper.
"For all legal intents and purposes, we will accuse those who instigated the mayhem for Mosalin's death. We are working tirelessly to identify each of them," he said at the briefing, which took place at the Detective Branch's Minto Road office in Dhaka.
Mosalin died in the ICU of Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Thursday. His elder brother Nur Mohammad filed a murder case against 150 unidentified people the same day. The Detective Branch (DB) of Police is leading the investigation.
