A hermaphrodite died on Sunday, after brother of a lawmaker and his men had allegedly beaten the person up on suspicion of a mobile phone theft at Nabiganj upazila in Habiganj Saturday night.
The deceased was identified as Ador Kha, 24, child of Daulat Kha of Jahurpur village in the upazila.
The family of the deceased filed a murder case with Nabiganj Police Station against Belal Chowdhury, younger brother of lawmaker from Habiganj-1 Munim Chowdhury, and three to four unnamed others.
Locals said Belal's mobile phone had been stolen from his business place Amin Decorators on Saturday night. Belal and his men captured Ador on suspicion of the theft and took Ador to the decorator office in Aushkandi Bazar around 11:00pm. There they tortured the hermaphrodite.
At one point of the torture, Ador lost consciousness and was taken to a friend's house in nearby village of Durlavpur, they added.
Informed, Ador's family members rushed their and brought Ador home in the small hours of Sunday. Ador breathed the last around 1:00pm that day.
Ador's brother Dilu Kha, the complainant of the case, said that in critical condition, Ador had told him that Belal and three to four of his employees tortured Ador to make the hermaphrodite admit to the theft.
"As Ador tried to run for life, they chased Ador down beat her up until midnight," said Dilu quoting Ador as saying.
Belal told reporters that Ador had been beaten up by a mob for stealing the mobile phone. Later Ador was handed over to police. When police had taken Ador to look for the mobile phone, Ador fell sick and died, he added.
Jahangir Alam, officer-in-charge of Nabiganj police, said Ador had been tortured for stealing. Later Ador fell sick and died, he added.
Lawmaker Munim claimed that it was locals who had tortured Ador. "My brother was not involved in it," he said.
Ador's body was sent to Habiganj Sadar Hospital for autopsy. The hermaphrodite was buried yesterday morning in their Jahurpur village.
Meanwhile, the Hermaphrodite Samity yesterday staged demonstration on Dhaka-Sylhet highway protesting the brutal killing.
