Relatives and local residents staged a human chain at the Pirojpur District Court premises on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, demanding a speedy trial and the maximum punishment—including the death penalty—for the prime accused and accomplices involved in the murder of Hasanur Rahman Opu. Hundreds of people from across Nesarabad and Pirojpur districts participated in the demonstration.
According to family members, Opu went missing on the night of October 4, 2023, after leaving his home in Sehangal village, Nesarabad upazila, stating he needed to collect money. Seven days after his disappearance, police and local residents recovered his buried corpse from behind his residence. The murder case is currently undergoing judicial trial.
