Neutral summary
A Jamaat-e-Islami worker, Kazi Yusuf Hossain (45), was beaten to death on Monday, 26 October, at Amjad Bazar in Chauddagram upazila, Cumilla, police said, following a prior dispute. Local residents said the dispute began on Saturday, 24 October, over unloading sand from a tractor at Konkapait school ground, after which Abul Kalam Azad, owner of Fariha Enterprise, reportedly threatened Yusuf and told him not to go to the bazar. On Monday morning, Azad's associates allegedly attacked Yusuf there. Relatives took him to Chauddagram upazila health complex, and he died while being taken to Cumilla, according to Dr Rashid Ahmed Chowdhury. Acting OC Arif Hossain confirmed the case; the body was sent to Cumilla Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy, and efforts to arrest those involved are under way. Upazila Jamaat secretary Muhammad Belal Hossain demanded a fair investigation and exemplary punishment. Azad and his associates could not be reached for comment as they were in hiding.

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.
