In Lakshmipur’s Raipur, police have handed over the body of Antor Majumder, who was killed in a mob beating after being accused in the murder of a mother and her three daughters. The handover took place after close family members refused to accept the body. Eventually, police arranged for a distant cousin, Titu Majumder, to receive it through the local union council chairman. The incident was confirmed by Sub-Inspector Md. Yakub of Sadar Model Police Station on Friday night.

According to police, Antor was the son of Kartik Majumder from Charbajlul Karim village in Noakhali’s Subarnachar upazila. His body underwent an autopsy at the 100-bed Lakshmipur Sadar Hospital, where the residential medical officer, Dr. Arup Pal, confirmed the post-mortem was completed before the body was handed to police. Later, it was transferred to the relative.

A case has been filed at Raipur Police Station over Antor’s death in the mob beating. Sub-Inspector Aminul Islam lodged the case against unidentified individuals, according to Officer-in-Charge Shahin Mia.
