The attack and murder of three in a house in Cumilla’s Muradnagar Upazila was premeditated, according to claims made by the victims’ family. Some local residents, however, said the family has long been involved in drug-related activities and several members have pending drug cases against them. Given their influence in the area, locals believe the attack could also have been linked to these alleged criminal ties. Speaking at the residence, Rasel’s wife, Meem Akhter, denied the allegations of drug involvement against their family. Meem said, “They planned the attack on Wednesday evening, and they carried it out the next morning.
