Abdul Rahman
DYFI has accused Muslim League workers of killing Abdul Rahman. They have called for Hartal on Thursday December 24, condemning the killing. Political enmity is suspected to be the motive behind the murder. Recently, during the victory procession after the local body elections, clashes had occurred between the workers of DYFI and Muslim League. It is suspected this might be a revenge act of that clash.
