Police in Jhenaidah have arrested three individuals in connection with the killing of Nirab, an anti-discrimination leader, who died after being beaten by fuel station employees. The incident occurred on Saturday night at the Taj Filling Station near the central bus terminal. Nirab’s father filed a case at the Sadar Police Station naming four people and several unidentified suspects. The three detainees were formally shown arrested in the case.

According to local sources, Nirab went to the filling station with two friends to refuel his motorcycle. When the staff refused to provide fuel but served another customer in a bottle, Nirab protested, leading to an argument. The employees then attacked him with bamboo sticks. Locals rescued the severely injured Nirab and took him to Jhenaidah General Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

Nirab was known as a fast-food businessman in Jhenaidah town and an active member of a student movement against discrimination.
