Two youths were killed in Bogura and Dhaka Monday, says UNB.

The deceased youth in Dhaka, identified as Jakir, was stabbed to death in Dakkhin Banasree on Monday night.

Rahima, a local resident of Dakhin Banasree, told UNB that she saw a gathering near 'Chartola Office' area when she was returning home around 8:30pm. "I saw a number of people were surrounding a youth, who was lying in a pool of blood. An ambulance was seen parked there but it refused to carry him because no one was agreeing to pay for it."

Rahima then requested the driver of the ambulance to carry the seriously injured youth and also told him that she will pay the ambulance rent, she said.

When Jakir was rushed to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital, the on-duty physician declared him dead at around 9:35 pm, said sub-inspector Bachchu Mia of DMCH police outpost. He added, there were stab wounds found on Jakir's chest.
