Blind federation member killed
A member of National Federation of the Blind was killed yesterday afternoon allegedly by his rival group at the organisation's Chawk Bazar office in Old Dhaka.
The deceased, Idris Bepari, 50, was an accused in the organisation's previous general secretary Khalilur Rahman murder case, said Kazi Wazed Ali, officer-in-charge of Mirpur Police Station.
Idris and other accused in the case were released on bail about a month after the killing on January 2, he added.
Parvin Begum, wife of Idris, told The Daily Star that she and her husband went to the organisation's central office on Orphanage Road around 11:00am. Around 2:00pm when she was talking to some people outside the office building, Idris came out of an office room screaming in pain as his throat was slit open.
He was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
Parvin said the rival group of Khalil might have killed her husband over a previous enmity between Khalil group and the group led by Ayub Ali Hawladar.
