Local Correspondent

Sin never stays hidden; it always comes to light in one way or another. This was proven once again. While attempting to steal an auto-rickshaw, a young man named Rifat Bin Sajjad (23) was caught by locals. Police discovered a video on his mobile phone that led to the revelation of a brutal murder. During interrogation, Rifat confessed to raping a teenager, crushing her head with a brick, and then mutilating her genitals, breasts, and other body parts with a sharp weapon to ensure her death. After the murder, he dumped the body on a railway track.

On Monday, March 10, Panchagarh Police Superintendent Mizanur Rahman Munshi shared this information during a press conference at his office.

Rifat is from Majhgram in Boda Upazila, Panchagarh. Police stated that the brutal killer also gave a confessional statement in court.

It was learned that a video of a woman being tied up was found on Rifat’s mobile phone after he was caught by locals. Upon questioning him about the video, police uncovered the gruesome details.

The Police Superintendent mentioned that on January 14, the mutilated body of an unidentified woman was found on railway tracks in the Kismat area of Atwari Upazila in the district. Sharp weapon marks were found on various parts of her body. Although it was a murder, police were unable to trace the incident at the time. An unnatural death case was filed at the police station.

A family from Bhulli in Thakurgaon took the body, believing it to be their daughter, and buried it.

Mizanur Rahman Munshi further stated that after the murder, Rifat became more reckless and continued committing crimes. On Saturday night, he was caught while attempting to steal an auto-rickshaw from the house of a man named Tahirul Islam in Radhanagar, Atwari Upazila. Locals beat him up, and upon finding a video of a woman tied up on his phone, they questioned him. After being beaten, Rifat described the horrifying details of how he killed the unidentified teenager.

The Police Superintendent added that Rifat revealed that during the rape, the teenager insulted him and his mother, prompting him to hit her head with a brick. He then used a knife to cut her genitals, breasts, and other body parts, killing her. He later dumped the body on the railway tracks.

The police officer also said that two cases have been filed against Rifat at Atwari Police Station—one for rape and murder, and another for theft. He was sent to jail through a court order on Sunday and gave a confessional statement in court.

Meanwhile, relatives of the woman whose body was found on the railway tracks in Kismat, Atwari, on January 14, have stated that the teenager shown in the brutal murder video found on Rifat’s phone is not their relative.
