Staff Correspondent, Mymensingh: A young boy has been beaten to death tying him to a pole for allegedly stealing a water machine from a hatchery at Char Sreerampur village in Gauripur upazila of Mymensingh district.

The deceased was identified as Md. Sagar Mia, 19, son of Md Shipon Mia. Sagar used to live in a railway slum at Nataghar area of Mymensingh town.

The killers fled leaving the body abandoned in a field in front of a house in the locality.

About 30 hours into the incident, police recovered the body from the field around 11:00am on Tuesday.

Sagar used to earn livelihood by selling abandoned things after collecting them from different areas of the district.

Sagar's father said his son left home with a rickshaw-van early Monday to collect abandoned things like every day and but didn’t return home Monday evening.

Then, Sagar’s family started searching for him in different parts of the locality and informed Kotwali Model police station about his disappearance.

Some of the villagers alleged hatchery owner Akkas Ali and his people beat up a young boy allegedly for stealing a water machine from his Gauchia hatchery on the Mymensingh-Kishoreganj highway early Monday.

They alleged the killers attempted to take the boy to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital when his condition deteriorated as they beat him up mercilessly tying him to a pole.

On the way to hospital, Akkas Ali and his accomplices came to know that the boy succumbed to his injuries and then they dumped the body in the field.

Sagar’s father claimed that his son can't engage in theft.

Gauripur police station officer-in-charge (OC) Delwar Ahmed said Sagar’s father has filed a murder case in this connection where hatchery owner Akkas Ali has been made prime accused.
