Later in the afternoon Kamal with his accomplices again swooped on Rabbani, leading to his father’s death.
Meanwhile, Dr Arjun Saha of Debiganj Upazila Health Complex said Faridul did not have any physical injury marks and the doctors had asked to conductelectrocardiogram (ECG) and X-ray when he came in but he breathed his last within half an hour.
The cause of the death will be clearer after the post-mortem examination, he said.
Officer-in-Charge of Debiganj Police Station Rabiul Hasan Sarkar said the matter was related to previous enmity. The body was sent to Sadar Hospital for autopsy.
Victim’s family is preparing to file a case over the matter, he said.
