Mystery as RAB<br />
source found dead<br />
• Md Tauhid-Uz-Zaman,<br />
Jessore<br />
A 30-year-old man, said to<br />
an informant of Rapid Action<br />
Battalion, has been found shot<br />
dead in Jessore’s Manirampur<br />
upazila.<br />
The deceased is Ataur Rahman,<br />
a contractor, who was<br />
the son of one Abul Kashem<br />
hailing from the upazila’s Bagdanga<br />
village.<br />
Ataur was also an accused<br />
in a murder case filed over<br />
the death of Morwar Hossain<br />
in 2015, police said, adding,<br />
they detained a man named<br />
Shahidul Islam over the latest<br />
incident of death.<br />
Manirampur police station’s<br />
Officer-in-Charge<br />
Mokarram Hossain said that<br />
Shahidul informed them<br />
about the murder around<br />
11pm on Monday.<br />
“We recovered the body<br />
from near a rice mill an hour<br />
later and then detained Shahidul<br />
for interrogation,” the<br />
OC said.<br />
Referring to the detainee,<br />
he added that Ataur and Shahidul<br />
went to visit local Union<br />
Parishad Chairman Chandra<br />
Shekhar Roy at his home in the<br />
evening.<br />
Some unidentified miscreants<br />
on two motorbikes<br />
attacked the duo when they<br />
were returning home around<br />
10:30pm, opening fire on<br />
Ataur’s face and throat, the<br />
police officer continued quoting<br />
Shahidul.<br />
Ataur Rahman<br />
The body bearing multiple<br />
bullet wounds was sent to the<br />
morgue of Jessore General<br />
Hospital yesterday morning<br />
for an autopsy.<br />
OC Mokarram, however,<br />
suspects that previous rivalry<br />
over the murder case might<br />
have led to Ataur’s death.<br />
Meanwhile, the deceased’s<br />
wife Shahnaj Parvin Rumi<br />
said the chairman had phoned<br />
Ataur and asked to meet him.<br />
Accordingly, Ataur along<br />
with Shahidul went to the<br />
chairman’s home in Kultia<br />
area, she added.<br />
When contacted, UP chairman<br />
denied calling Ataur over<br />
phone.<br />
“Rather, he [Ataur] wanted<br />
to meet me to discuss some<br />
issues relating to the locality,”<br />
he said.<br />
Ataur had left his village<br />
home and started living in a<br />
rented house in Jessore town<br />
after being sued in the case. He<br />
finally returned home along<br />
with his family recently. •
