Haji Abdur Rahim (70) died at Sylhet Oasis Hospital while undergoing treatment for an attack at Sherpur Jamiatul Falah Madrasa in Moulvibazar Sadar Upazila following a dispute with committee members. Today, May 3, after Asr, Haji Abdur Rahim will be buried at his family graveyard in Sherpur. Abdur Rahim, who was seriously injured, was admitted to Moulvibazar 250-bed hospital (Registration No. 40503) but his condition deteriorated and he was referred to Sylhet Osmani Medical Hospital. As his condition deteriorated further, he died at Sylhet Oasis Hospital at 3.30 am on May 1.
When asked about this, prominent human rights activist Haji Anhar Ali said – After the death of the injured Haji Abdur Rahim, the madrasa authorities created obstacles to the autopsy of his body. Later, at about 1:30 am, the body was recovered with the assistance of the police and under police guard and sent to the morgue of the 250-bed Sadar Hospital in Moulvibazar for autopsy. On Saturday morning, May 3, after the autopsy, the police handed over his body to his family. Currently, I am being threatened. I am insecure. Khela Begum, the wife of the deceased Haji Abdur Rahim, and her son Masum Ahmed said – After the incident, a written complaint was filed with the Moulvibazar Model Police Station. However, the police did not take any legal action. We demand that those involved in the attack be brought to justice as soon as possible. It is learned that – a dispute arose between the committee members and the neighbors over the incident of filling the soil in front of Jamiatul Falah Madrasa and blocking the water road. In this incident, on April 22nd, around 12 noon, there was extreme tension between the principal of the madrasa and other teachers. During the brickbats and scuffles between the two sides, Haji Abdur Rahim was seriously injured physically and mentally. A settlement meeting was scheduled to be held on April 24, 2025, to resolve the matter permanently. However, on that day, i.e., April 24, the committee members of Jamiatul Falah Madrasa again clashed with the local Chan Mia gang. When the police failed to bring the situation under control, the security forces conducted a raid and arrested Chan Mia and 3 others.
