A man has been arrested for allegedly beating his 70-year-old father to death in Mirsarai, Chittagong, after the elderly man tried to stop him from taking drugs.
The victim, Ahmed Diller, was a resident of the Purba Alinagar Bishwatila area in the Korerhat Union, under the jurisdiction of the Zorarganj Police Station. Police have arrested his son, Ibrahim Hossain Milon, in connection with the killing.
According to local residents, Milon had been addicted to drugs for a long time and was allegedly involved in various criminal activities, including human trafficking. Family members said he had become increasingly reckless, routinely ignoring their attempts to intervene.
The incident occurred on Friday (May 15) around 9:00 PM. Local sources stated that Milon became furious when his father attempted to stop him from using drugs inside the house. Milon reportedly attacked his father with a stick and struck him repeatedly, causing the elderly man to die on the spot.
Upon receiving the news, a team from the Zorarganj Police Station recovered the body and sent it for a post-mortem examination. Police successfully apprehended Milon later that night at around 10:00 PM.
Confirming the incident, Zorarganj Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mohammad Abdul Halim stated that the suspect is currently in custody and undergoing interrogation regarding the homicide.
