Schoolboy hacked dead

A schoolboy was hacked to death by two youths in Joar  Sahara area of Bhatara in the capital on Wednesday night, reports UNB.

The deceased is Jihad, 17, son of a certain Alamgir Hossain from Kotalipara upazila of Gopalganj district. He appeared at this year's SSC examination from Kalachadpur High School.

Jihad went to locals Hridoy and Biplab for money they borrowed from him.

Instead of returning the money, the two youths locked into an altercation with Jihad. At one stage, they stabbed Jihad in the abdomen, leaving him critically injured.

Locals took him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where the physician declared him dead around 9:50pm, said sub-inspector Bachchu Mia of the DMCH police camp.
