In Natore’s Singra Upazila, a young man was allegedly killed by his father following a dispute over money for drugs. The incident occurred on Saturday evening in Mohishmari village under Chamari Union. The deceased, identified as Shariful Islam (28), was the son of Shahid Mollah, a local timber trader. Shahid has been absconding since the incident. Police have recovered the machete used in the killing.
According to police and local sources, Shariful was a drug addict who frequently stole poultry and household items from the area to fund his addiction. He also reportedly assaulted family members. Despite being admitted to a drug rehabilitation center, he left the facility. His wife had also left him. On Saturday evening, when Shariful did not receive money for drugs, he attacked his father with a sharp weapon. During the ensuing scuffle, Shahid allegedly struck Shariful with a machete, leading to his death.
Singra Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mohammad Mominuzzaman said the body was recovered and sent to Natore Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy. The machete used in the incident has been recovered from the scene. The suspect, Shahid, remains at large, and further action will be taken after investigation.
