Swechchhasebak League Leader Allegedly Killed in Rival Attack in Chattogram

A prominent leader of the Swechchhasebak League, Shahadat Hossain, was tragically killed on Tuesday night in what is believed to be a targeted attack by his rivals. The incident took place in the Mithadighi area of Satkania upazila, located in the Chattogram district of Bangladesh.

The 34-year-old Shahadat Hossain, who served as the general secretary of the Sadaha union unit of Swechchhasebak League, was the son of Yunus, a resident of the same area, as reported by Reuters.

During the attack, Shahadat’s elder brother, Anwar Hossain, also sustained injuries.

According to local sources, Shahadat had a history of animosity with his neighbors, Tarek and Elahi, over their involvement in drug abuse. The dispute between them escalated on Tuesday night at around 10:30 pm, leading to a heated altercation. The situation quickly turned violent, and both Shahadat and Anwar were indiscriminately stabbed by their rivals.

Following the attack, the injured victims were urgently rushed to the Chattogram Medical College and Hospital. Tragically, despite the medical team’s best efforts, Shahadat could not be saved, and he was pronounced dead.
