Neutral summary
A 63-year-old woman, Piara Begum, died at Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani Medical College Hospital around midnight on Sunday after being allegedly beaten by her son, Sumon Ahmed, 32, in Zakiganj upazila, Sylhet, police and family members said. The attack followed demands for money and that family land and property be transferred into Sumon's name. Police said the altercation on Saturday night, around 11pm, left Piara, stepmother Kutina Begum, 45, brother Shahin Ahmed, 38, his wife Shahana Begum, 32, and their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Israt Jahan injured. Local residents took them to Zakiganj Upazila Health Complex. Police arrested Sumon from his home and he was sent to jail by a Zakiganj court on Sunday. Shahin filed a case naming Sumon and brother Shamim Ahmed, 47. Officer-in-charge Muhammad Abdur Razzak said a murder charge would be added. Family members said Sumon had a history of drug abuse; Shahin said his wife and daughter were in critical condition.

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.
