Husband murdered in N'ganj, six including wife arrested

NARAYANGANJ, Dec 3, 2025 (BSS) - Police in Narayanganj have arrested six 
individuals, including the wife of a 35-year old man, in connection with the 
killing of a man in Fatullah. 

Confirming the matter at a press briefing at the office of District 
Superintendent of Police (SP) this afternoon, SP Mizanur Rahman Munshi said 
the arrested are Soniya Akter, 22, wife of the deceased, Mehedi Hasan alias 
Yusuf, 42, Abdur Rahman, 28, Billal Hossain, 58, Alamgir Hawladar, 45, and 
Nannu Mia, 55.

The deceased, Suman Khalifa son of Montu Khalifa of Andarmanik village in 
Agailjhara, Barishal, had been living with his wife Soniya Akter in a rented 
house in the Signboard area.

On the morning of December 1, Suman's blood-stained body was recovered from 
the road in the middle of Narsinghpur area. 

The victim's body bore multiple sharp weapon injuries. That night, his father 
Montu Khalifa filed a murder case with Fatullah Model Police Station against 
unidentified individuals. 

The suspects were arrested on Tuesday night. A machete and a switch gear, 
allegedly used in the crime, were also recovered.

SP Mizanur Rahman Munshi said the murder was committed due to an extramarital 
affair involving the victim's wife, Soniya Akter.
 
"Frequent quarrels between Suman and Soniya arose due to her illicit 
relationship with Mehedi Hasan alias Yusuf. In retaliation, Soniya and Yusuf 
conspired to kill Suman," he said.

According to the SP, on the night of November 30, following the plan, the 
suspects lured Suman out of a club after leaving Soniya at a musical event in 
Panchbati, Methorkhola.
 
He was then abducted in a CNG-run vehicle and taken to Char Kashipur, where 
he was brutally killed with sharp weapons.

"After arresting Yusuf with the help of information technology, five others 
were also taken into custody following his initial confessional statement. 
Investigation is ongoing to determine whether others were involved in the 
crime," the SP added.
