CHATTOGRAM, June 24: A Jubo League leader has “fallen ill” and died at Chattogram Central Jail a day after he was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) of police from Satkania Upazila.
Senior Jail Superintendent Iqbal Hossain told bdnews24.com that Nurul Alam was brought to the jail on Tuesday evening after his arrest in a case filed at Satkania Police Station.
On Wednesday morning, he had difficulty breathing and complained of chest pain.
“He was quickly taken to Chittagong Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.”
Iqbal said, “Initially, doctors said [Nurul] had suffered a massive heart attack. The body will be handed over to the family after an autopsy.”
Nurul hailed from Satkania. Police detectives had arrested him in the area on Tuesday afternoon, his family said.
Locals say he was the joint convenor of the Dhemsha Union unit of the Jubo League, but had not been active in political activities for some time. He ran a business in the city’s Reazuddin Bazar. His elder brother, Nur Mohammad, alleges that Nurul was “branded with the Jubo League tag” due to a dispute with some locals over land.
He told bdnews24.com, “There was no case against him. He went about as he usually did and was regularly available at his shop in Reazuddin Bazar.�"bdnews24
