A 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death allegedly by members of a ‘teen gang’ at Muhammadpur in the city’s Panchlaish area on Monday night, reports UNB.
The deceased was identified as Rafiqul Islam, a worker of an aluminium factory in Muradpur area and son of one Firoz Mia of Brahmanbaria district.
Quoting the boy’s maternal uncle, police said that Rafiqul had an old enmity with some members of the gang. “Around 8.30 pm on Monday, he was stabbed indiscriminately by the accused while he was returning home from work,” an official said Tuesday.
