Anwarul Islam, 35, son of Amer Ali of the aforementioned village was murdered on July 11.

Amer Ali disclosed at a press conference at the Satkhira Reporters' Unity club on Thursday that a group of criminals belonging to a group of the local Union Parishad (UP) chairman 'chopped to death' to his son Anwarul Islam in front of Debnagar Primary School at about 5-30 pm on the fateful day.

He said that he filed a case with Satkhira thana accusing Rashed, Jahangir, Kamrul, Nazrul, Nur Islam, Motled, Taleb, Mahataf, Shawkat, Ashraf, Alamgir, Manirul and Kenan of the area. Police have arrested Jahangir, Motleb and Alamgir. But afterwards, police 'mysteriously' remained inactive. 'They are not investigating the case or arresting the culprits and even after more than five months of the incident', he alleged.

Police are yet to submit a chargesheet against the culprits as a section of the ruling party men led by Sadar thana BNP Chairman Abdul Alim are allegedly harbouring the accused. They are also creating pressure to police, he claimed. He further alleged that chairman Abdul Alim had offered him a good amount of money to withdraw the case. The accused gave him the money for the ill-motive, he further said.
