Elderly man beaten dead over Tk 2,500 his son borrowed
An elderly man was allegedly beaten to death by the neighbours over realisation of his son's overdue loans at Bualia village of Sujanagar upazila in Pabna.
The deceased is Ohab Mondol, 60, of the village.
Faridul Islam, Ohab's son, took Tk 2,500 from one Rafikul Islam of the same village a few weeks back, said Humayun Kabir, officer-in-charge of Aminpur Police Station, quoting family members.
On Thursday night, Rafikul along with his family members came to Ohab Mondol's house at night, said OC Humayun.
Rafikul demanded the money as Faridul did not return it on time, he said. Soon, they had an argument with Ohab over the issue, he added.
At one stage of the argument, Rafikul and his family members started beating Ohab Mondol, he added.
Soon, they left the scene, leaving him critically injured, added the OC, quoting family members.
Ohab was taken to Sujanagar Upazila Health Complex the same night. He succumbed to his injuries early yesterday, said doctors at the Sujanagar Upazila Health Complex.
Ohab's family filed a murder case with Aminpur Police Station, said OC Humayun Kabir.
Police arrested Rafikul, his father Nurul Haque and mother Rokeya Begum yesterday, the OC said. “We are looking into the matter,” he added.
