Hiron. Upon a keyword search, we found that 75-year-old Hiron was an Awami League general secretary from Jhenaidah in south-western Bangladesh. According to a local report, Hiron and his driver, Akhtar, Hossain were hacked and burnt to death.<\/p>\n<p>Eyewitnesses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhakapost.com\/country\/296909\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly<\/a> said that around noon on August 5, a mob vandalized Hiron&#8217;s house and in the process, Hiron fired at the crowd injuring several people. The mob went on to set fire to his house and injure his personal driver, Akhtar. Akhtar was taken to the local hospital where the doctor declared him dead.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Hiron, who was stuck on the third floor of the house, died in the fire. The mob broke into the house took out the body and hung it in Paira Chattar in the centre of the city. From there, the body was sent to the morgue of the local hospital.
