In a chilling episode that has left the serene waters of the Meghna River shrouded in mystery, the cargo vessel MV Al-Bakhera became the scene of a horrific massacre. Seven crew members were brutally murdered, their lives snuffed out in a violent attack that has shocked the nation.
On a seemingly ordinary night, the vessel lay anchored near Haimchar, when unknown assailants launched a savage assault. By Monday afternoon, authorities discovered five bloodied bodies in various cabins, along with three critically injured survivors. Despite urgent medical attention, two more succumbed to their injuries, leaving one survivor, Jewel Rana, fighting for his life in a Dhaka hospital.
The motive behind this gruesome attack remains elusive. While initial suspicions pointed to robbery, the absence of stolen goods suggests a more sinister motive. The vessel’s owner has demanded a thorough investigation and exemplary punishment for the perpetrators.
Police report that the attack was executed with sharp weapons, leaving the victims with severe wounds. Although six of the deceased have been identified, including the ship’s master Golam Kibria and several crew members, the mystery deepens as investigators sift through call logs and gather evidence.
Authorities, including Coast Guard and police officials, rushed to the scene following a distress call to the national emergency line. Investigations are underway, with two mobile phones seized for crucial leads.
As fear grips the riverine community, the implications of such violence ripple through the local maritime routes. In response, heightened security measures have been implemented to protect passengers and crew using these waterways.
In a bid to uncover the truth, the Ministry of Industry has formed a four-member committee to probe the incident, aiming to unveil the motives and prevent future tragedies. As the investigation unfolds, the nation awaits answers to the haunting question: What led to the night of terror on the MV Al-Bakhera?
