The name of the blogger s Niloy Neel and the attack took place in his home in the city's Goran area. He is the fourth secularist blogger who has been killed this year by suspected Islamist militants in Bangladesh.
AS per information there was a gang of six attackers. They had tricked their way into the house on the pretext of renting a flat. Two of them then took him to a room and then slaughtered him there while his wife was in the flat but confined to another room.
Ii is learnt that he had been an anti-extremist voice of reason. He was believed to be the voice against fundamentalism and extremism and also for minority rights - especially women's rights and the rights of indigenous people.
Niloy Neel was not only secular but atheist and, like two of the others, he was from a Hindu, not a Muslim, background.
