Bangladesh Police Probe Killing of Hindu Auto-Rickshaw Driver in Feni

Police are treating the case as a suspected robbery, with the missing autorickshaw central to their inquiry.

Overview

  • Samir Kumar Das, a 28-year-old Hindu auto-rickshaw driver, was found beaten and stabbed late January 11 in Daganbhuiyan, Feni, according to police and local media.
  • Officers recovered the body and sent it to Feni General Hospital for autopsy, said Daganbhuiyan Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mohammad Fayzul Azim.
  • Police say the attackers fled with his battery-operated autorickshaw and have launched a special operation to identify suspects and recover the vehicle.
  • Feni Police Superintendent Shafiqul Islam said a case has been registered and no arrests or clear leads have been established as the investigation continues.
