Manjurul Islam Liton

Manjurul Islam Liton (c. 1968 – 31 December 2016) was a Bangladesh Awami League politician and a member of parliament from the Gaibandha-1 constituency.

Early life and career Liton was a marine engineer by training. He was a director of Ashraf Ali Cold Storage Limited and proprietor of Islam Ship Builders & Heavy Engineering. Witnesses allege that on 2 October, Liton shot 10 year old shot Sourav Mia in both legs when he was taking a morning walk with his uncle at Gopalcharan village in Gaibandha. Liton was travelling in his car when gestured for Sourav Mia's uncle, Shahjahan to come near him. Scared, Shahjahan started running away. This prompted the enraged Liton to fire his personal gun. Two bullets tore through Sourav's right leg and one through the left.

Death Liton was in his home in Sundarganj Upazila in Gaibandha when he was shot by three people on 31 December 2016. He died in Rangpur Medical College Hospital. The motive for the attack was suspected to be either an attack from militant groups, political rivalry, family foes or the recent zila parishad elections. In February 2017, another former Jatiya Sangsad member from the same constituency, Abdul Kader Khan, confessed to the killing.
