CHANDPUR, Feb 17, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today sentenced two men to life 
imprisonment for killing a man in Kachua upazila of the district in 2018 over 
a dispute regarding money sent from abroad.

Senior District and Sessions Judge Shamsunnahar handed down the verdict 
against Md. Mosharraf Hossain, 35, and Md. Yasin, 37. The court also fined 
them Taka 50,000 and an additional six months of rigorous imprisonment in 
case of default.

According to prosecution, Keramat Ali, 58, a resident of Panchdhara village 
in Bitara union of the upazila, was fatally injured on August 23, 2018. 

According to the case details, a confrontation broke out between Keramat 
Ali's family and the accused over the payment of money sent abroad. During 
the altercation, Mosharraf allegedly attacked the victim's younger son, Al-
Amin. When Keramat Ali intervened to protect his son, he was struck on the 
head by Yasin with a wooden object. 

He was initially treated at two local hospitals before being transferred to 
Nawabpur Tower Hospital in Cumilla, where he was pronounced dead around 7 pm.

Following the incident, Keramat Ali's son, Md. Jasim Uddin, filed a case with 
Kachua Police Station naming seven individuals as accused. 

After an investigation led by then Sub-Inspector (SI) Md. Mamunur Rashid 
Sarkar Mamun, the charge-sheet was submitted to the court on February 12, 
2019.

During the trial, the court recorded testimony from 20 witnesses. Based on 
the evidence, the court found Mosharraf and Yasin guilty. While Yasin was 
present during the verdict, Mosharraf remained absconding. The remaining five 
accused were acquitted due to lack of evidence.
