A man named Azizul Haque, also known as Jhoru Mastan, was killed in a clash over control of a sand trade site in the Padma river char area bordering Natore, Rajshahi, and Kushtia. Police recovered his bloodied body from a speedboat on the riverbank at Charjajira in Lalpur upazila on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred between midnight and early morning in Hobirchar, where two rival groups, known as the Belal group and the Kakon group, exchanged gunfire.
Police reported that Jhoru Mastan, aged 35, was from Pabnapara village in Doyarampur union of Bagatipara upazila. He had been working at a sand point controlled by the Kakon group in Charghat area. Investigators suspect that the killing resulted from the ongoing rivalry with the Belal group over dominance in the sand business. The body bore a gunshot wound above the left eye, and police believe the bullet exited through the top of his head.
Law enforcement agencies from Lalpur, Veramara, and Laxmikunda river police units visited the scene. No arrests have been made so far, and an investigation is underway to identify those involved.
