A Jubo Dal leader of Cumilla was hacked to death in the capital's Ibrahimpur area on Saturday night.

The deceased is identified as Mizanur Rahman, 45, of Shahapur village under Sorospur union of Monohorganj upazila.

Mizanur was the vice president of Monohorganj upazila unit of Jubo Dal, the youth front of BNP.

Some miscreants attacked Mizanur in front of his house in Ibrahimpur around 9:30pm, said Aslam Uddin, officer-in-charge of Kafrul Police Station.

Locals rescued a critically injured Mizanur and rushed him to the Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, the OC said. He was pronounced dead by the doctors at the hospital, he added.

Contacted, Masudur Rahman, elder brother of Mizanur, said, “My brother was involved in interior designing business and had an office in the capital's Mohakhali area.”

“He never had any conflict with anyone,” Masudur told The Daily Star.

The family filed a murder case against unknown miscreants with Kafrul Police Station, said OC Aslam Uddin, adding that an investigation is underway.

Sarwar Jahan Dolon, general secretary of Monohorganj upazila unit of BNP, said, “Mizanur was an amiable person. The Jubo Dal leader did not have any political conflict with anyone.”
