RANGPUR, Nov 4, 2024 (BSS) - Freelancer photographer youth Siyam Mian, son of
Altaf Hossain of Lalpukur Noyapara in Kholeya union of Gangachara upazila in
the district, was murdered for money.
 
"Swadhin Mian, who was arrested within 48 hours of the murder, gave this
information during preliminary interrogation," Rangpur Superintendent of
Police Mohammad Sharif Uddin told journalists today.
 
Arrested youth Swadhin Mian is the son of Anarul Islam of the nearby Ganjipur
Majhpara village in the same upazila.
 
The main accused in Siyam's murder, Swadhin Mian, told police that Siyam used
to take pictures with his own camera in the nearby 'Vinnojogot Entertainment
Park' and traded bricks and sand in Kholeya Ganjipur market of the upazila.
 
Siyam sold his camera for Taka 40,000 only three to four days before the
murder.
 
To get this money to buy drugs, Swadhin planned to kill Siyam.
 
As planned, on October 27 at around 10:30 pm, Siyam was maneuvered on the
east bank of the Teesta Barrage Project's canal embankment.
 
After that, Swadhin Mian with his cohorts hit Siaym's neck and head with a
knife.
 
Later, by taking off his T-shirt, Swadhin strangled Siyam and confirmed his
death.
 
Then Swadhin ran away with Taka 1,150 cash taken from Siyam's pant pocket,
mobile phone and motorcycle.
 
In this regard, the SP told journalists that arrested Swadhin Mian has given
a confessional statement under section 164 in the court.
 
"After recording the statement, the court sent Swadhin Mian to jail. Hectic
efforts are on to arrest other accused involved in the murder," the SP added.
