The family of slain ex-Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) leader Saddam has filed a complaint naming a Swechchhasebak Dal leader as the prime accused in his killing.
Saddam’s father, Mostu Mia, lodged the complaint on Friday night mentioning the names of convenor of district Swechchhasebak Dal Delwar Hossain Dilip of Kandipara area and others at Sadar Model Police Station, said Sadar Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Azharul Islam.
The complaint also includes 5–7 unnamed suspects.
Earlier in the evening, family members and locals brought out a protest procession in the town.
They later gathered in front of Sadar Model Police Station demanding the immediate arrest and exemplary punishment of Dilip and others.
“Criminals have no political identity. Those involved in the murder will be arrested soon,” said the OC.
According to locals,there was long-standing rivalry between the group of Lion Shakil and district Swechchhasebak Dal convenor Delwar Hossain Dilip over establishing dominance.

On Thursday evening, Lion Shakil and his associates opened fire on Dilip’s supporters, injuring three people.
Saddam’s family alleged that Delwar Hossain Dilip and his associates picked Saddam up from his home and killed him.
They alleged the murder was carried out to frame the rival group in the ongoing conflict.
