Imran goes there and asks for the money owed to him.
At one stage of the argument, Imran beat Al Amin with an iron rod in the building and left him there. Al Amin fell down from that building at night. In the morning local people found him lying and admitted him to Jessore General Hospital. He died at around 9:30 am while undergoing treatment.

Imran beat Al Amin with an iron rod from the under-construction building when he refused the offer. Then Al Amin died while undergoing treatment.
