Police said on Wednesday that the suspended vice-principal of Habibullah Bahar College, Mohammad Syfur Rahman Bhuiyan, was killed in Dhaka鈥檚 Uttarkhan after allegedly attempting to rape a young woman at his rented house.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police deputy commissioner of Uttara Division, Md Mahidul Islam, revealed the information at a press briefing at the DMP media centre in the capital.
The victim鈥檚 younger brother Md Lutfor Rahman Bhuiyan, however, said that the information given by the police was not believable and he thought that it was all scripted.
Police arrested Md Nazim Hossain, 21, and Rupa Begum, also known as Jannati, 23, at Faridpur Railway Station on allegation of stabbing Syfur to death at his rented home in the capital鈥檚 Uttarkhan area early Monday.
The DC said that the couple was stranded at Kamalapur Railway Station after losing their money and belongings when they met Syfur, the suspended vice-principal of Habibullah Bahar College.
Later, Syfur offered the duo jobs and took them to his house in Uttarkhan, the DC said, adding that he repeatedly harassed the young woman whenever her husband was away.
鈥楾he situation escalated on the night of March 9 when Syfur Rahman allegedly attempted to rape the woman. As her husband protested at the rape attempt, an altercation ensued leading to a scuffle,鈥� the DC said, adding that at one point, the husband attacked Syfur with a sharp weapon and fled the scene.
According to the case statement, two people entered the house about two to three days ago impersonating the vice-principal鈥檚 wife and son.
The duo fled the house after killing Syfur Rahman between 2:00am and 4:00am on Monday at his rented flat on the fourth floor of the six-storey building in the Puranpara area under Uttarkhan.聽聽聽聽
鈥榃e came to know about entering the duo from the building caretaker and neighbours,鈥� the plaintiff of the case, Lutfor Rahman, told 抖阴精品 on Tuesday.
He said that his brother rented the flat three to four month ago for constructing a building on a plot of his in-laws.
Lutfor alleged that there was a conflict between his brother鈥檚 father-in-law and his brother鈥檚 family over the land.
He said that Syfur was involved in the politics of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and the then Sheikh Hasina government suspended him for years.
鈥楳y brother has recently received an amount over Tk 15 lakh as previous dues and the money also can be a reason behind the murder,鈥� he assumed.
According to colleagues, although the acting vice-principal was suspended for five years during the Awami League regime, the conflict with the college acting principal Ali Borddin suspended him again one month ago.
The college acting principal Ali Borddin said that the college governing body suspended acting vice-principal about a month ago and he also got a handsome amount of money from the college for his five years suspension recently.
He, however, denied conflict with the victim.
