TANGAIL, July 22, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today sentenced two people to 
death in separate murder cases in the district.

District and Sessions Judge Md. Hafizur Rahman and Special Judge Dilara Alo 
Chandrana delivered the verdicts. The courts also acquitted two accused after 
finding the allegations against them unproven.

The convicts are Nazirul Islam Jihad, 28, son of Mofizul Haque of Garabari 
village in Bhuapur upazila and Sohrab Hossain of Borni village in Delduar 
upazila.

According to the case records, on June 18, 2020, Mehdi Mostafa Rajib was 
murdered in Kharabari village of Bhuapur following a dispute. After a lengthy 
trial and examination of testimony from 15 prosecution witnesses, the court 
found Nazirul Islam Jihad guilty and sentenced him to death. The court also 
fined him Taka 100,000.

In the other case, on the night of May 5, 2021, Hazera Begum, 60, her 
daughter Nasrin Akter, 22, and her nephew Mostafa went to sleep in the same 
room after having dinner at their home in South Para village of Delduar. 
Early the following morning, after returning from Fajr prayers, Mostafa found 
that Hazera Begum and Nasrin were missing. During a search, their bodies were 
discovered in a jute field about 200 yards from the house.

Police recovered the bodies, and Hazera Begum's son, Mosharraf Hossain, later 
filed a murder case with Delduar Police Station. Following the trial, the 
Special Judge's Court found Sohrab Hossain guilty of the killings and 
sentenced him to death.
