A man named Mizanur Rahman, also known as Roni, who was accused in six criminal cases, was beaten to death in public at Kabirhat upazila of Noakhali on Saturday night. The attack occurred around 10:30 p.m. near Kazi Bari in Kalirhat market area under Narottampur Union. After the killing, a group of youths reportedly distributed sweets in the market, calling the deceased a robber, which sparked widespread discussion in the area.

According to police and local sources, Mizan had earlier attended a BNP ward-level election meeting at Kalirhat market, where he claimed to be a dedicated party worker and got into an argument with others. After leaving the meeting, several individuals caught him near Kazi Bari and beat him with sticks and iron pipes, causing his death on the spot. Police later recovered his body, a blood-stained stick, an iron pipe, and a toy pistol from the scene.

Kabirhat police said Mizan had been involved in various criminal activities in recent months. His body was sent to Noakhali General Hospital morgue for autopsy, and legal action will follow upon filing of a case by his family.
