Victim Feroz Ali, the Godagari upazila BCL convenor and former president of Degree College Student Union, died at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital.

Hearing the news of his death, Godagari Awami League (AL) and BCL brought out procession and held a protest rally in the evening demanding immediate arrest of his killers.

Sources said, some 20 JCD cadres including the upazila JCD leaders Iftekhar Alam, Ashraf Uddin, Selim, Parvez and Masud called Feroz out of his relative's house at Kamarpara on October 20. They took him to Sultanganj and beat up with iron rods tying his hands and legs.

The victim's family members said Feroz was hiding for fear of police harassment as his opponents using their political power filed 'false cases' against him.

No case was filed till late in the evening.
