Bangladesh : Gobindaganj Police contingents recovered a beheaded body from Gobindaganj Town in Gobindaganj upazila on Monday morning, reports UNB.
Officer-in charge of Gobindaganj Police Station Aminul Islam said on information, police recovered the throat-slit body of Tarun Datta, aged about 45, son of Hirendranath Datta of Moddhopara area in the upazila, from College Road area from a ditch at Bardhankuti locality of Gobindaganj town around 7am. By profession Tarun was a businessman dealing with hardware and sanitary fittings etc.
Police could not divulge the modus operandi of the murder, but apparently guessed the murder as a case out of a denial of ransom claimed by some Muslim group. Hindu traders and businessmen in Bangladesh are frequently traumatized by the Jehadi groups, Jaamat operatives and fanatical Mohammedan elements active in various political parties in a very oppressive way. Hindu-Buddhist and Christians are facing an existential crisis under a threat perception in Islamic Bangladesh resulting a huge decrease of the minority population there.
Muslims fundamental groups in Bangladesh claim various type of live-taxes on minority Hindu-Buddhists-Christians for amny instances. But the ruling parties in Bangladesh never tried to address the crisis of the Bangladesh minority people, nor the Govt. of India asks BD Govt about the increasing minority persecution there in a very frantic manner.
The victim’s family said Tarun went out for daily morning walk on the day as usual. He is survived by his two minor sons. The widow of Late Tarun Dutta, Mita Rani Dutta was interrogated by the investigation officer whether there was any animosity of anybody cropped up with Tarun in recent.
Various Trade and Business Committees, Social Organisation and local Puja Udjapon Samity (Hindu Festival Celebration Committee) members and aggrieved citizens registered their protest for the brutal killing of Tarun Dutta by road blockade at Rangpur-Bagura National Highway near Chaturanga crossing to Gobindganj High school today (Wednesday, Feb 10) from 10 am t0 12 Noon and then gave a deputation to the Upazila Adminstrative authority. All the shops and business outlets of the town were closed from 12 Noon to 4 pm on the day of protest.
