Maulana Aminul Haque Nomani (45), a leader of the Islamic Unity Movement, was killed in an attack by miscreants at his home in Bhola.

The incident took place at around 9:15 pm on Saturday in the North Charnoabad area of ​​Ward No. 9 of Bapta Union in Sadar Upazila.

The deceased, Aminul Haque, was a muhaddith of Bhola Darul Hadith Kamil Madrasa, a khatib of Sadar Upazila Parishad Jame Mosque and the district secretary of the Islamic Unity Movement. His father’s name was Maulana Enamul Haque.

According to local sources, shortly after Aminul returned home after Isha prayers, neighbors heard screams coming from his house. Upon hearing the news, neighbors ran to see that the door of the house was locked from the outside. Later, when they opened the door and entered, Maulana Aminul was seen writhing in a bloody state.

He was quickly rescued and taken to Bhola 250-bed General Hospital around 10 pm, where the doctor on duty declared him dead.

The deceased’s colleague, madrasa teacher Md. Zahirul Islam, said that his wife and children were not at home at the time of the incident. Aminul Haque suffered deep wounds on his neck, chest and stomach from a sharp weapon.

When news of the incident spread, leaders and activists of various Islamic parties and locals flocked to the hospital that night.

Later, around 11 pm, a protest procession left the hospital premises and converged at the K-Jahan Market area on Sadar Road. Speakers warned of strict agitation if the killers were not arrested within 24 hours.
