Protest Against Stalking

Bhashantek goons murder youth

Staff Correspondent
A man already accused of physically and sexually assaulting 11 members of a Bhashantek family allegedly beat a man to death on Friday night for protesting the stalking of his cousin.
Nasir Hossain, 25, is the latest victim of alleged killer Mamun, the prime accused in a case for barbaric torture on a pregnant woman and 10 others of her family in Bhashantek slum area in February this year.
Mamun along with four of his cohorts -Bablu, "Kana” Alam, Khokon and Chukka -verbally abused Laboni, 15, in Bhashantek on Friday afternoon, Nasir's brother Mosharraf said in the statement of the case he filed with Bhashantek Police Station yesterday.
Seven named and four to five unnamed people were accused in the case. Mamun, 27, has been made the prime accused.
After Laboni told the stalking incident to Nasir, he scolded the gang and warned them of legal actions should they further harass her.
Around 9:30pm, a man came to Nasir and took him to Mamun and his gang members, Mosharraf said in the case statement.
Later that night, Mamun and his cohorts severely beat Nasir with metal pipes and stabbed him indiscriminately in Goltek area, leaving him critically wounded.
Nasir was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital around 10:30pm where he died about two hours later, Mosharraf said.
Although Mamun went into hiding after the horrific February incident, he returned to Bhashantek about a month ago and started his illegal activities there, said Kohinur Begum who had filed the assault case against Mamun and his gang.

Asked why Mamun hasn't been arrested yet, Assistant Commissioner (Pallabi zone) Kamal Hossain of Dhaka Metropolitan Police said the accused could not be traced.
Quoting Laboni, he said Mamun and his gang mugged a cell phone from her husband couple of days ago.
However, while talking to police, Laboni denied the stalking incident, Kamal said.
The girl might have done this fearing further harassment as the culprits are dreaded in the area for their ruthlessness, said a DMP official wishing anonymity.
Muhammad Golam Nabi Sheikh, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Bhashantek Police Station, yesterday said they were looking into the case but none had been arrested so far.
Mamun and his gang forced nine members, including six women, of a poor family in Bhashantek slum in a room, undressed them all and assaulted them for about 15 hours
since the morning of February 11. Two other male members of the family were beaten up outside the room.
It all happened for six tolas of gold that too was alleged to have been stolen by a member of the family.
The culprits even took photos and videos of the victims and threatened to circulate those if the gold ornaments were not given to them, despite their insistence that they did not know anything about the gold.
Plaintiff Kohinur Begum said after returning to the area, Mamun has started threatening them to withdraw the case.
"He stormed into my sister Shamsunnahar's room around 2:30am on October 2. Brandishing a firearm, he threatened my sister to drop the lawsuit," she told The Daily Star over the phone yesterday.
Mamun, who is accused in at least five more cases, also has resumed drug peddling in the area, sources said.
Apart from Mamun, Bablu is accused in both cases.
