Incident Details Emerge in Bashundhara Tragedy
Dhaka, Bangladesh – A lawyer, identified as Naim Kibria, 35, was allegedly beaten to death in the Bashundhara Residential Area of Dhaka on Wednesday night, December 31, 2025. The tragic incident, which occurred around 10:00 PM, reportedly stemmed from a collision between Kibria's private car and a motorcycle.
According to police and family accounts, Kibria was driving his private car in Bashundhara's Block K when it collided with a motorcycle. This minor road incident quickly escalated into a violent confrontation. Motorcyclists and several unidentified local youths reportedly dragged Kibria out of his vehicle and subjected him to a brutal beating, leaving him critically injured on the road.
Victim Identified, Investigation Underway
Naim Kibria, a practicing lawyer at the Pabna District Judge's Court, was rescued by his cousin, Rafiqul Islam, and other locals. He was rushed to Kurmitola General Hospital, where doctors declared him dead upon arrival. Police later recovered the body from the hospital and sent it to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for a post-mortem examination.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Ariful Islam of Bhatara Police Station confirmed the incident, stating that injury marks were found on various parts of Kibria's body, including his neck, arms, and back. Bhatara Police Chief Imraul Haque also confirmed the recovery of the body. Authorities have launched an investigation, with efforts underway to identify and apprehend the assailants through the review of CCTV footage. As of now, no arrests have been made, and the process of filing a murder case is ongoing.
Background and Family Connections
Family members revealed that Naim Kibria was the son of Golam Kibria and hailed from Chak Joyenpur village in Pabna Sadar upazila. His mother, Irene Kibria, is a former panel chairperson of the Pabna Zila Parishad. Kibria had arrived in Dhaka approximately ten days prior to the incident and was staying at a relative's house in Purbachal.
His visit to the capital was reportedly to seek bail from the High Court in connection with a case filed against him in Pabna. This case was related to the 2024 anti-discrimination student movement, also known as the July uprising.

Road rage is terrible, but what did he do to provoke such a violent response? There are always two sides.

The brutality of this attack is shocking and demands a thorough investigation to catch the culprits. However, the detail about his bail application for the student movement case makes one wonder if there were other factors at play, or if this background might somehow be exploited in the narrative.

Absolutely horrific! Mob justice has no place in a civilized society. Bring these culprits to justice!

This incident is a tragic reminder of how quickly road incidents can escalate into deadly violence, pointing to a severe lack of patience and respect on our streets. At the same time, the fact that a lawyer with a prominent family background could be targeted like this suggests a deeper societal issue beyond just road rage.

A 'minor collision'? We only have one side of the story. Lawyers aren't always innocent victims.
