Youth Allegedly Murdered Over 27-Year-Old Feud, Incident Framed as Robbery

Local Correspondent | May 2, 2025

In Munshiganj’s Mollakandi Union, allegations have emerged that 44-year-old Sana Majhi was murdered in retribution for a 27-year-old feud related to his alleged involvement in the killing of Shipon Majhi in 1998. The incident occurred last Thursday in the village of Madhya Makhati.

Sana Majhi’s wife, Fatema Begum, stated that a man named Swadhin had called her husband out at 3 PM. When he didn’t return home, the family later received news at 11 PM that he had been killed and his body was staged with a firearm nearby.

Police recovered the body from a roadside field and found a single-barrel shotgun and two rounds of ammunition at the scene. According to Officer-in-Charge Saiful Islam of Munshiganj Sadar Police Station, the victim appeared to have been beaten to death, and efforts were made to disguise the murder as a robbery.

The murder is suspected to have been orchestrated by Babu Majhi, the brother of the 1998 victim, as an act of revenge. At that time, Sana Majhi and his brothers were accused of the murder of Shipon Majhi but were later acquitted after serving time in jail.

The suspects allegedly announced over loudspeakers that there had been a robbery, aiming to frame the incident as mob violence.

No arrests have been made yet, but the police assure that investigations are ongoing and that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.

Sana Majhi, a father of three, leaves behind a grieving family. His wife, Fatema Begum, has called for justice while alleging threats against her for speaking out.
