“We’ve heard that the angry locals beat the man to death on hearing that he had made blasphemous remarks about the Quran,” said Sumon Kumar Mohanta, the OC of Patgram Police Station. Locals said a man came on a motorcycle and entered a mosque after the evening prayers. Hundreds of people gathered after hearing that the person said bad stuff about the Quran at the mosque. They set fire to the man and his motorcycle afterwards, killing him on the spot. Sultan was admitted to the Patgram Upazila Health Complex while Sharif was sent to the Rangpur Medical College Hospital.
