Police have stated that the murder of Asadul Haque, also known as Lombu Asadul, in Dhaka’s Mohammadpur area was driven by prior enmity and financial disputes. According to Tejgaon Division Deputy Commissioner Md. Ibne Mizan, acquaintances lured Asadul from his home and stabbed him to death. The briefing was held on Saturday at the DMP Media Centre on Minto Road.

Following the killing, police used technology to identify suspects and arrested four people, including the main planner, from Keraniganj. The detainees are Akhtar Hossain, Md. Munna, Miraj Fakir, and Nayon alias Khokon. A switchgear and a motorcycle used in the crime were seized. Police said Akhtar had a previous altercation with Asadul that led to a case and imprisonment. After Asadul’s release, their conflict continued, culminating in the fatal attack.

A murder case has been filed by the victim’s cousin, and police are seeking remand for the suspects. Authorities also reported that Asadul had six prior cases, while the arrestees had multiple criminal records. Police plan to strengthen checkpoints and operations to prevent similar incidents.
