Banera Khatun was murdered on Sep 23, 2018 following a family dispute, said Public Prosecutor Anup Kumar Nandi, citing the case dossier. She was bludgeoned to death with a spade, he added.
Afterwards, Jewel’s father Azizul started a murder case against him with Daulatpur Police Station. Police went on to arrest Jewel and submitted formal charges against him to court in the same year.
