Plaintiff Hazari Al Munir, also a representative of the local Ahmadiyya community, filed the attempt to murder case with Ishwarganj Police accusing three persons around 11:00pm. Among the accused, two were unidentified. The third aecused’s name was Abdul Ahad Mohammadullah from Chariya village of Kalmakanda upazila in Netrakona, said officer-in-charge of Ishwarganj Police Station
Badrul Alam Khan on Wednesday morning.
Ahad was arrested from the spot during the incident. The detainee will be interrogated after release from the Mymensingh Medical College and Hospital, as he is now undergoing treatment there. Police also held Amad’s wife Josnara Begum and his two siblings Ainuddin and Mainuddin for interrogation, the OC added. Earlier, the muezzin, the Ahmadiyya Muslim community was stabbed by miscreants inside a mosque in Ishwarganj upazila of Mymensingh on Monday night.
The victim has been identified a Mostafizur Rahman, a resident in Kaharole upazila in Dinajpur district. District Superintendent of Police (SP) Syed Nurul Islam said a group of people numbering three stormed into the mosque at Khanpur village around 8:30pm, sometime before the Esher prayer and hacked Mostafizur indiscriminately with sharp weapons, leaving him injured. SP said primarily it was believed that the incident took place centering religious dissention. Another religious group thinks Ahmedis are not in the right track.
They considered the Ahmedis as their rivals. The attack was planned by the anti-Ahmedis. Police have already started their investigation in this issue. However, the Muazzin was taken to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital in a critical condition. Later he was shifted to Dhaka for better treatment.
However, the local people beat a man, named Abdul Ahad suspecting him as one of the attackers and later, handed him over to police. Abdul Ahad is a resident of Kalmakanda upazila in Netrakona. However, Abdul Ahad said two other men were also involved in the incident, but he refused to mention their names. Ahad, who is now admitted to a local hospital, will be interrogated after getting well.
