Dhaka: A retired Hindu school teacher, his wife and their two children were allegedly killed at their residence in Bangladesh’s Rangpur city, according to a media report. Police have detained two men in connection with the killings.
The deceased were identified as Ganapati Chakraborty, 65, Pritilata Chakraborty, 50, their daughter Agami Chakraborty Prarthi, 23, and son Priyam Chakraborty, 12, the Daily Star reported.
Police detained two cousins, identified as Mughdho and Siddhartha, for their alleged involvement in the killings.
Rangpur Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mohammad Abdul Mabud told the media on Sunday that the two suspects allegedly reached the rooftop of Chakraborty’s house through a neighbouring building on Thursday night and consumed yaba there.
Ganapati Chakraborty went to the rooftop after hearing noises and questioned the two men about their presence there. To avoid being exposed, the suspects allegedly strangled him with a gamchha, a thin cotton towel he was carrying on his shoulder, police said.
Hearing the commotion, his wife went upstairs and was allegedly strangled with a piece of cloth on the staircase. The couple’s daughter and son were also killed during the incident, police said.
The bodies of the four family members were recovered from their locked house in the Daspara area of Rangpur city around 11.30 pm on Friday.
