Russell Shikder, elder brother of the deceased said, Rashed used to look after my business in Dhaka. On August 16, he came home with his two-year-old son Rafsan. After Friday prayers, he goes to Barthi market to buy fruits for his son. There he was detained by the Chhatra Dal people and demanded money. Otherwise he threatened that he would not be allowed to stay in the area. When Rashed said that he would not pay the contribution, 10/15 people including Saimun, Hamim Talukdar led by President of Barthi Union Chhatra Dal, Al Amin, severely beat him up. He was first taken to Upazila Hospital and from there to Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital. When asked to take Dhaka from there, my brother died on the way to take Dhaka. Chhatra Dal workers ransacked the shop of Kamrul in the market to avoid beatings.
