A young man from Ghosalkandi village in Rajoir upazila of Madaripur district has died in Libya after being tortured by a human trafficking gang that had promised to send him to Italy. The victim, identified as Tashir Fakir, reportedly paid around 4.8 million taka to traffickers but was held captive and tortured after arriving in Libya. His death was confirmed on Wednesday, bringing grief to his family and community.
Relatives alleged that a local broker named Rafiqul Islam Bagha from the nearby Purba Shormongol village lured Tashir with promises of work in Italy. After his capture in Libya, the traffickers extorted additional money from his family through threats and videos of abuse. Despite being hospitalized in Libya, he died in the ICU. The family claims the traffickers tried to hide his body after his death.
Following the incident, the accused broker and his family reportedly fled their home. Local residents expressed anger and demanded justice, while the victim’s wife and daughter appealed for help to repatriate his body and support the family.
