A union parishad member, who was severely beaten up in Pangsha Upazila of Rajbari, died in Faridpur Medical College Hospital early on Wednesday.

The deceased was identified as Md Shawkat Ali Mandal, son of Nazir Mandal of the Mourat Upazila. He was a member of ward-4 under Mourat UP and also the general secretary of the ward unit Awami League.

Mourat UP Chairman Habibur Rahman said a group of miscreants severely beat up Shawkat at Mourat Bazar around 9:00pm on Tuesday, leaving him critically injured.

 Shawkat was rushed to Upazila Health Complex and then shifted to Faridpur Medical College Hospital where he died around 1:30am.

Pangsha Police Station Officer-in-Charge Ahsan Ullah said, "Police visited the spot at night and the investigation is going on to nab the killers."

Shawkat's relative Helal Mandal alleged that Shawkat might have been killed following previous enmity.
