Eyewitnesses said, Ali locked into an altercation with his neighbours Al Amin and Alam at around 1:30pm over pasting posters on a wall ahead of the Kathalia Union Parishad election scheduled to be held on October 31.
At one stage, Alam punched to Ali, leaving him critically injured.
Ali’s relatives rescued him and sent him to the Narsingdi Sadar Hospital but he died on his way to the hospital.
Madhabdi Police Station Officer-in-Charge Yeasin Mollah said, police recovered the body and sent it to the hospital for autopsy.
In an impromptu reaction, Motalib Pathan, President of the district unit Muktijoddha Command Council, demanded immediate arrest of the killers and exemplary punishment.
