An old man named Mir Hossain (70) was beaten to death over a dispute over a woman being hit by a ball while children were playing football in Chatkhil, Noakhali on Friday.

The victim’s son filed a murder case with the police station in this incident. The police have arrested the two.

The victim’s son Md. Alamgir filed the case with the Chatkhil police station as the plaintiff on Saturday. Earlier, the incident took place at the house of Munshi Mia Chowkidar of Baktarpur village, ward number 4 of Hatpukuria Ghatlabagh union of the upazila on Friday.

According to police and local sources, Yasin, grandson of the deceased Mir Hossain, was playing football with some children near the house. At that time, Faisal’s mother, Rawshan Ara, was hit by the ball while passing through the middle of the field.

Angered by this, she took the children’s ball and went home. Later, when Habib went to get the ball, he did not return the ball.

At one point, Habib took a bucket of water instead of the ball. When Habib’s mother scolded her son and returned the bucket to get the ball, he had an argument and a fight with Roshan Ara.

Later, Faisal’s wife informed her husband on the mobile phone. At one point, Faisal, along with 7-8 people, attacked Habib’s family members. At that time, when he stepped forward to protect his grandson and other family members, Faisal beat Mir Hossain and hit him on the head with a stick.

He was seriously injured. Later, local people rescued him and took him to Chatkhil Upazila Health Complex, where the doctor on duty declared him dead.

Chatkhil Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md. Abdul Monnaf said that after receiving the information, the police went to the hospital and prepared a post-mortem report on the body.

The body has been sent to the Noakhali General Hospital morgue for autopsy. Two people were arrested in a murder case filed by the victim’s son.
