Man stabbed to death in Dinajpur
A 35-year-old man was stabbed to death allegedly by a group of drug peddlers in the district's Hakimpur upazila on Friday night, reports UNB.
The deceased was identified as Bardin Islam Baten, a construction worker and son of Abu Taleb of Mathpara village.
Shariqul Islam, officer in charge of Hakimpur police station, said that Baten's younger brother Insan had been at loggerheads with a local drug peddler, Imon, over sharing profits from drug sales.
On Friday morning, Baten intervened and apparently ensured a patch-up between Insan and Imon. However, Imon was not satisfied with the settlement.
The same night, Imon along with his two associates, waylaid Baten on a bike and stabbed him indiscriminately, leaving him injured. "He was taken to a local hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival," said the OC.
"Police are trying to arrest the culprits," he added.
