Road barricade for arrest of Plabon’s killers

Plabon got GPA-5 in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination this year but he was beaten to death on June 14 allegedly by some BNP activists before the results were published.

The road barricade caused a long snarl-up of vehicles on both sides of the road.

A spontaneous rally at the spot declared that tougher agitation will be launched if the killers are not nabbed immediately.

The rally was addressed by, among others, Nazrul Islam, Golam Mostafa, Abu Taleb and Monwarul Islam.

Plabon was a student of Palashbari SM Pilot High School.

Police have been deployed in the area.
