An Ansar member named Mainul Islam (45) was killed after hooligans punched him at Rajshahi Railway Station on Thursday night.
Station Manager Abdul Karim said some youths were roaming around the platform of the station without tickets around 9:00 pm on Thursday.
At that time, when the Ansar member asked them to leave, they got into an argument. At one stage, the youths punched Mainul. He fell to the ground and blood came out of his nose and mouth.
Later, he was taken to the emergency department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, where the doctor on duty declared him dead, reports UNB.
Mainul hailed from Mangonpur village of Godagari upazila of Rajshahi.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Railway Police Station Gopal Kumar said that one person has been arrested in connection with this incident. The others have fled.
The identity of the arrested youth has not been given.
However, they seem to be local hooligans. It is being investigated what happened there or how Mainul died. Besides, CCTV footage will also be seen. Details will be reported later, said the OC.
Mainul’s body will be handed over to the family members after the autopsy on Friday, added the OC.
