A 40-year-old person suffering from night blindness was murdered in the city on Tuesday night when he tried to intervene in a scuffle near his house.
According to police, the deceased has been identified as Bharat Vishodiya, a resident of Bhagwatipara area. At around 10 pm on Tuesday, Vishodiya came out of his home after hearing about a fight. He thought his younger brother Dinesh was involved in the ruckus and went to inquire about it.
Police said assuming that some people are quarrelling with his brother, Vishodiya told Bodu, Hussain, Ravi and Rafiq not to quarrel. Meanwhile, these four persons turned to Vishodiya and attacked him.
He was injured seriously and was rushed to the civil hospital but attending doctors declared him brought dead.
When his family members -- wife Viju, mother Parvati and brother Dinesh -- went to save him, the accused also injured them.
The complaint was filed with B-division police station against the four persons and police have arrested Hussain and Rafiq.
According to sources, Vishodiya was a truck driver, but after losing vision four years ago, he used to stay at home. He is survived by his wife and four children.
