Three or four days ago, Rashed quarrelled with Rubel, 30, son of Bechu Mia of the same house, over flashing torchlight into his eyes. Following this incident, Rubel with some other men attacked and beat Rashed three times.
Rashed's family had to lodge a written complaint with Begumganj police station. When the police came to investigate, assailants became more enraged and Rubel accompanied by Shakil, Sujan, Akbar, Maruf, Manju and a few others beat up Rashed's uncle Lokman Hossain. They also threatened Lokman about the police case.
Rashed went missing after 10pm on Saturday and the next morning, his body was found two kilometres away from his house.
