The horse had been hit in the chest by a sharp weapon. Considering Manu Miah’s physical and mental condition, who is undergoing treatment in the hospital, his wife and relatives kept the killing of the horse a secret from him.
Manu Miah’s wife Rahima Begum said that, her husband (Manu Miah’s) condition is not good. He has never harmed anyone in his life. I knew for a long time that people loved him. How could people kill his beloved horse in such a bad condition? If we tell him the news, he will not be able to bear it.”
The local residents saids, it is known that Manu Miah has a reputation as a skilled grave digger in the remote haor Upazila Itna, Mithamoin, Austagram Shalla, Ajmiriganj and nearby areas. Apart from this, he has a reputation in various parts of the country including the capital’s Banani graveyard. Manu Miah does not stop at just digging graves.
