A housewife named Rigan Akter Mim, aged 26, was killed during a late-night robbery at her home in Battala village under Ward 9 of Shahrasti Municipality, Chandpur. The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday night. Another housewife from the same family, Sumaiya Akter, was injured when masked robbers attacked her and demanded valuables at knifepoint. The robbers tied her hands, struck her on the head with a hammer, and took jewelry before entering the next room where Mim was later found unconscious with a scarf wrapped around her neck.

Family members and neighbors reported hearing screams and alerted others through a mosque announcement. Locals surrounded the house and found Mim lying on the floor, unresponsive. A doctor later confirmed her death. Police officials, including the Officer-in-Charge of Shahrasti Police Station and the Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police (Kachua Circle), visited the scene, collected evidence, and prepared to send the body for autopsy.

Police stated that multiple teams are investigating the case to identify and arrest those involved.
