The brother of grocer Mohammad Mamun Bhuiyan, who was killed after he was snatched from police custody, has alleged that one of the accused in the murder case has threatened to kill him too.
Nazmul Hossain Bhuiyan told bdnews24.com: "One of the accused on Mamun's murder case, former member of Moktarpur Union Parishad Hakim Faraji has threatened several times to kill me."
He also expressed frustration over police's failure to catch the main perpetrators even after four days into the killing.
Mamun, 30, son of Hossain Ali of Baragaon, was arrested on charges of alleged robbery and extortion on May 29 from the union's Baragaon Bazar. Police, however, said local people had snatched him from their custody and killed him.
His body was found at Ramchandrapur village under Muktarpur Union Parishad around 2:30am on Wednesday.
However, Mamun's family alleged that the Muktarpur Union Parishad Chairman Shariful Islam Toron's people killed him in collusion with police over old rivalry.
Nazmul had filed the murder case on Thursday night at the Kaliganj Police Station against 19 people, of whom nine Toron and former UP member Faraji were named.
Police later arrested Toron's elder brother Mohammad Kawsar Sarker, 35, Mohammad Iran Sarker, 30, village police members Shyamal Sarker, 35, and Srinibash Mandal, 30, in connection with the murder.
Asked why other accused were not arrested, Kaliganj police's Officer-in-Charge Enayet Uddin told bdnews24.com: "We are continuing raids to catch the other accused. But Nazmul hasn't told us anything about the threats to him."
