A migrant labourer from West Bengal's Murshidabad district was lynched in Odisha's Sambalpur on Wednesday. Six persons have been arrested for the murder.

The assault took place in the Shantinagar area late Wednesday evening when Jewel Sheikh and other construction workers were returning from work. Two other workers, Akir Sheikh and Palash Sheikh, were also injured in the attack and were hospitalised in Sambalpur.

He also claimed that “agents of various dominant powers are still engaged in conspiracies” in the country.
While in exile in London, Rahman had been convicted on charges of money laundering and faced around 100 lawsuits. The convictions were overturned after the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024. Read on.
