DHAKA, July 15, 2026 (BSS) - A police investigation has portrayed the murder of Jagannath University (JnU) student and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal leader Md Jobayed Hossain as the outcome of an alleged love triangle, with investigators accusing his student, her boyfriend and another accomplice of orchestrating a premeditated killing. 

The charge sheet, submitted to a Dhaka court, details the alleged motive, planning, digital evidence and execution of the murder.

The three accused are Jobayed's student Barjis Shabnam Borsha, her boyfriend Md Mahir Rahman and Mahir's friend Fardin Ahammed Ailan. All three have given confessional statements before a magistrate in connection with the case.

Confirming the matter to BSS, Sub-Inspector (SI) Kamal Hossain of the General Registration Wing for Bangshal Police Station at the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court said Investigation Officer (IO) SI Ashraf Hossain submitted the charge sheet on June 30. 

The court is scheduled to hold a hearing on August 12 on whether to take the charge sheet into cognizance.

According to the charge sheet, Jobayed had been working as Borsha's private tutor for a long time, during which they developed a romantic relationship. The charge sheet further alleges that the two also had a physical relationship, although Borsha was already in a relationship with Mahir.

The charge sheet states that after Mahir learned about Borsha's relationship with Jobayed and confronted her, Borsha falsely blamed Jobayed. According to the investigation, she told Mahir that Jobayed possessed her private photographs and videos and was blackmailing her into maintaining a physical relationship with him. 

The investigating officer said Borsha thereby incited Mahir against Jobayed. As part of the alleged plot, Mahir sought help from his friend Ailan to carry out the murder.

Digital evidence showed that Borsha shared Jobayed's live location and movements with Mahir n October 19, 2025, shortly before the murder, as part of the alleged plan, the IO added.

According to the charge sheet, when Jobayed arrived at Borsha's residence for a tutoring session, Mahir and Fardin Ahammed Ailan were lying in wait. Mahir allegedly stopped Jobayed under the pretext of a conversation, engaged him in an altercation and stabbed him on the right side of the neck with a switchblade. Jobayed tried to flee upstairs but collapsed on the third-floor staircase and died from excessive bleeding.

Jobayed's brother, Enayet Hossain, filed the case with Bangshal Police Station on October 21, 2025.

Investigating Officer SI Ashraf Hossain of Bangshal Police Station told BSS that Jobayed was murdered over a love triangle. Police have submitted a charge sheet against three people, including his student Barjis Shabnam Borsha, in connection with the killing. The prosecution has cited 50 witnesses in the case.

"We had so many dreams for Jobayed. He was the light of our family. Since we lost him, our parents have not stopped crying even for a moment. The entire house feels empty without him," complainant and Jobayed's brother Enayet Hossain told BSS.

"We want exemplary punishment for those who brutally murdered my brother. They should receive such punishment that no other parents have to endure this pain and no one else has to lose a brother in such a tragic way," he added.
