A regional leader of the banned Purbo Banglar Communist Party was shot and hacked to death by unidentified assailants in Khulna on Tuesday night.
Police identified the deceased as Sheikh Shahadat Hossain.
Officer-in-charge (OC) of Sonadanga Police Station Shariful Islam said a group of attackers chased Shahadat and attacked him near ‘Sangeeta Cinema Hall’ in the city around 9 pm.
At one stage, the attackers left the scene and locals rushed him to Khulna Medical College Hospital where physicians declared him dead around 9:30 pm, the OC said.
Shahadat had been released on bail earlier this year after serving over 15 years in jail. He had since been living a normal life, the OC added.
Shahadat was accused in a number of murder cases, including one involving the killing of two policemen, reports UNB.
