A Jubo Dal leader, identified as Md. Firoz, 45, was allegedly hacked to death following an altercation over the planting of bean plants in Lalmohan upazila of Bhola. He died while undergoing treatment on life support at Supermax Healthcare Limited, a private hospital in Dhaka, on Saturday afternoon.

The incident took place on Friday afternoon at the Doctor Bari area near Member Dokan in Ward No. 8 of Kalma Union. Firoz was the son of Kashem Ali and a joint general secretary of the northern unit of Kalma Union Jubo Dal.

According to sources, Firoz planted bean plants on his own land beside the house of a man named Kajol on Thursday and put up a bamboo fence around the plants. On Friday afternoon, after Jumu’ah prayers, Kajol’s wife, Jannat, allegedly cut down the fence.

After returning from prayers, Firoz saw the damaged fence and got into an argument with Jannat. At one point, her husband Kajol arrived at the scene and allegedly attacked Firoz repeatedly with a machete.

Firoz sustained critical injuries and was initially taken to Lalmohan Upazila Health Complex. He was later referred to Bhola Sadar Hospital for advanced treatment. As his condition remained critical, his relatives took him to Dhaka, where he died on life support at Supermax Healthcare Limited on Saturday afternoon.

Regarding the incident, Sub-Inspector Md. Nurul Amin of Lalmohan Police Station said police had visited the scene after receiving information about the incident. The accused, Kajol, had been detained, and preparations were underway to file a case.
