The Jubo Dal central committee has expelled Zahidul Islam, general secretary of Nilganj Union Jubo Dal in Kalapara, Patuakhali, following the death of small businessman Idris Khan after an alleged assault linked to a Facebook post. The expulsion was announced on March 4, 2026, through a press release signed by Minhazul Islam Bhuiyan, assistant office secretary of the central committee. The decision was made by Jubo Dal president Abdul Monayem Munna and general secretary Mohammad Nurul Islam Noyon MP. A murder case has been filed with Kalapara Police Station naming Zahidul as the prime accused.

Police and family sources said Idris Khan had posted allegations against Zahidul on Facebook during the recent national election, which reportedly angered him. Idris was allegedly called to the local Jubo Dal office on February 26, where he was beaten. He later died on March 2 while being taken to hospital after his condition worsened. His body was sent for autopsy and buried in his village.

The incident has sparked widespread reaction in the area, with locals and relatives demanding the arrest and exemplary punishment of those involved. Police said an investigation is underway.
