A horrific daylight robbery occurred at a house in Kotalipara, Gopalganj, where the only son of the homeowner, Pias Majumdar (22), was brutally murdered by the robbers.

The tragic incident took place on Tuesday, March 11, around 11:00 AM in the Lakirpar area of the upazila.

Sources reveal that, as usual, Pias’s father, Pal Majumdar, a rural dental practitioner, and his mother, nurse Anita Baidya, left for work on Tuesday morning, leaving Pias at home. However, around 12:30 PM, when Pal Majumdar returned home, he found the drawers of the cupboard open, furniture scattered, and belongings strewn everywhere. He then discovered his son’s lifeless body tied up on the bed and screamed in shock.

Hearing the screams, neighbors rushed to the scene. They quickly rescued Pias and took him to Kotalipara Upazila Health Complex, where doctors declared him dead.

Neighbor Solaiman Majumdar said, “We heard screams and ran to find Pias tied up. We immediately took him to the hospital. We also saw Khokon Majumdar’s furniture broken and scattered, so we informed the police.”

Pias’s family reported that the robbers looted gold ornaments, cash, and valuable items from the house.

Regarding the incident, Abul Kalam Azad, the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Kotalipara Police Station, said, “The body has been recovered and sent to the morgue of Gopalganj 250-bed General Hospital for autopsy. Legal action will be taken based on the investigation.”
