Police arrested one Abdul Rahman, alias Shekh Lalla from Park Circus on Saturday night on charges of killing a 65-year-old person almost a week earlier. Rahman allegedly killed the elderly man after an altercation in May 12 in Beniapukur area.
Police said that Mohammad Sabir, the victim, started quarrelling with Rahman who allegedly attacked the former with a piece of brick, hitting him on the head. The assailant fled the spot after the incident and left the victim lying on the road in a pool of blood. The local residents took him to Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital where he was declared brought dead. The investigators learnt that Sabir, a cobbler by profession, was sleeping on the road. Rahman kicked him while crossing the road and this ultimately led to an altercation between the two. The altercation soon escalated into a fight and Rahman used the piece of brick to hit the elderly man on the head. On Saturday night, a week after the incident, investigators arrested Rahman from a hideout in Park Circus area.
