A young man named Jahedul Islam (35), alias ‘Picchi Jaheed’, who was number 1 on the list of criminals of Chittagong City Police (CMP), was killed in an attack with sharp weapons by miscreants.

The murder took place in front of Farid Sawdagar’s shop in Dakshin Purangad village of Purangad union of Satkania upazila on Sunday, August 30, at around 10 pm.

According to police and local sources, the deceased, Jahedul Islam, was a resident of Panchghariapara area of ​​Purangarh union in Satkania. He was the number one accused in the list of 330 identified criminals prepared by the city police this year.

According to the incident report, Zahed was returning home on a rural road on Sunday night with his friend Wahid on the back of his motorcycle. On the way, when Farid reached the area of ​​Saudagar’s shop, a group of six to seven miscreants who had been lying in wait in the road blocked their movement by throwing tree trunks on the road.

When the motorcycle stopped, the miscreants dragged Zahed onto the road, slashed him with sharp weapons, and quickly fled.

Later, local residents rescued him in a seriously injured condition and took him to a private hospital in the upazila, where the doctor on duty declared him dead.

His friend Wahid, who was with him, was also injured in the incident, but he is out of danger for now, according to police.
