Rajshahi: A Rajshahi University professor, Rezaul Karim Siddiquee was hacked to death by miscreants, some 50 metres away from his residence on Saturday morning, reports said.
According to bdnews24.com Boalia police station OC Shahdat Hossain said that miscreants hacked the deceased with sharp weapon and left him to die at the Battala Crossing in Salbagan area around 7.30 a.m.
Though initially it was thought that Islamist radicals may have played a part in Siddiquees murder, it was soon ruled out as police said that a personal rivalry was the reason he was murdered.
Siddiquee also became the third such victim after two others of the same varsity were killed some years ago.
