In Sathia, Pabna, a young man named Maruf (20) died after being electrocuted. His friend’s mother was critically injured in the incident.

The accident occurred yesterday morning in Daulatpur village under the municipality. SI Shafiqul Islam of Sathia Police Station confirmed the matter.

The deceased Maruf was a leader of the covert organization Chhatra Shibir. Leaders and activists of the war criminal organization Jamaat-e-Islami and its underground student wing, Shibir, who attended his janaza, declared him a “martyr.”

Maruf, son of Liton Pramanik from Shashdia village under the municipality, served as the ward secretary (Ward No. 7) of Sathia municipality for the clandestine student organization. By profession, he worked as a mason’s assistant.

It was learned that on Monday morning, Maruf went to the house of Siddiq Mir in Daulatpur for masonry work. While working, he was electrocuted by a live wire attached to a grill. When his friend Mamun’s mother tried to help, she too was electrocuted. Locals rescued both and took them to the hospital, where Maruf died. Due to the critical condition of Mamun’s mother, doctors referred her to Pabna for better treatment.

Upon receiving the news, Sathia police recovered the body and brought it to the station. As no complaint was filed, the body was later handed over to the family.
