A Union Parishad (UP) member was hacked to death by unidentified miscreants at Sundarpur-Nabab mor of Shibganj Upazila in Chapainawabganj district on Thursday noon.
The deceased was identified as Alam Hossain, 50, son of Abul Hossain, Ward-9 member of Nayalbhanga union parishad and president of ward BNP.
Police and locals said, when Alam Hossain was coming back home from Union Parishad a team of 7-8 miscreants blocked his road at Sundarpur-Nabab mor and started chopping, leaving him critically injured.
Later, locals rescued him and rushed him to Chapainawabganj 250 bed District Hospital where a doctor declared him dead.
Sukamal Chandra Debnath, Officer-in-Charge of Shibganj Police Station, said that it is suspected that Alam was killed due to prior enmity.
Preparations are underway to file case regarding the murder, he added.
