Neutral summary
A 55-year-old school headmaster, Manoranjan Roy, was beaten to death on Sunday in Parbatipur upazila, Dinajpur, while trying to settle a dispute over a road-side land plot between neighbours Asaduzzaman and Azizul Master, police said. Ajker Patrika reported that the dispute had been ongoing and that Roy, headmaster of Chakshuda Government Primary School in Chirirbandar upazila, died at the scene in a paddy field after being struck by Asaduzzaman and several companions. Additional Police Superintendent (Crime) Mo. Anwar Hossain said police were alerted through the 999 emergency line, and Asaduzzaman was detained; legal action is under way. The Times of India reported that Bangladesh Hindu Sammilan Sangha condemned the killing on Monday, with general secretary MK Roy calling for immediate arrest of all those involved, exemplary punishment, security and compensation for the family, and government action against land grabbing and persecution of Hindus.
Where accounts differ. The Times of India describes Roy as a Hindu teacher and frames the killing as an attack on minorities through the Sangha's statement, which Ajker Patrika does not report.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
