After going there, the miscreants ran away. Later the locals rescued him and took him to Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital where the doctor declared him dead.
The UP chairman also said, ‘After hearing the news of his son’s death, Parvez’s father, former member Montu Mia, is admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. About a month and a half ago, Parvez’s elder brother Panna was stabbed by miscreants demanding extortion. At that time Panna survived but the miscreants threatened to kill her younger brother Parvez.
