A local BNP leader found dead early yesterday on a road of Doba village under Rupsha upazila of the district.
The deceased was identified as Arabinda Mandol, 45, general secretary of Ghatbhog union unit of BNP of the upazila.
Nilima Mandol, wife of Arabinda, alleged that police beat him to death after chasing him for about half a kilometre from his residence.
Subhash Chandra Biswas, officer-in-charge of Rupsha Police Station said, Arabinda died of cardiac arrest while fleeing his home to escape arrest.
Police said, a team of law enforcers led by Sub-Inspector Azad Rahman went to the house of Arabinda, an accused in a case filed in 2008, to arrest him early yesterday.
During arrest, Arabinda claimed that he was earlier released on bail in the case.
As police wanted to see the court order, he went inside the house to bring it to police.
Instead of producing the court order before police, Arabinda tried to flee through the back door of the house and had a cardiac arrest, police said, adding that he later died at Khulna Medical College Hospital.
Nilima admitted that her husband tried to evade arrest.
