A young man named Kawsar Hawlader (32), a rented motorcycle driver, was hacked to death over a previous dispute in Wazirpur, Barishal. Another person named Rashed Amin Hawlader was injured in the incident. The attack took place on Friday night in the Gopalganj-Barishal border area under Satla union of the upazila.
Injured Rashed said the attack stemmed from an altercation and scuffle over a trivial matter. On the night of the incident, people came in microbuses and motorcycles from Dhaka and Barishal to attack Kawsar and him. Even after jumping into a bill to escape, Kawsar could not be saved, as attackers broke into a house and hacked him indiscriminately.
Locals rescued the injured and took them to Kotalipara Upazila Health Complex, where doctors declared Kawsar dead. Wazirpur Model Police Station stated that a microbus carrying the culprits was detained from the Padma Bridge area, bringing the total number of detainees to nine. The situation is currently normal and additional police have been deployed.
