Dr Mukharjee, also founding member of Khulna divisional unit of Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA), was stabbed to death by miscreants at his house in Jhenidan town on Thursday.

The Jhanaidah district unit of Puja Udgapan Parishad and BMA have also taken up separate programmes to mourn his death and demand arrest of the killers.

Meanwhile, there has been no headway in the investigation into the killing. None has been arrested.

According to Jhenaidha Police Superintendent, there could be two reasons for the murder. One is his reported refusal to pay Tk 4 lakh toll to extremists and the other is alleged land dispute with his relatives.

But the murder is non-political, he said.

Khulna district unit of Puja Udjapan Parishad has also demanded arrest of the killers.
