A young housewife, who was stabbed allegedly by her husband at Hajipur village in Magura Sadar upazila on Monday night, died on her way to a hospital in the capital early yesterday.
The deceased was Achhiya Khatun, 20, daughter of Mukul Munshi of Pashchim Bariwala village in the upazila.
Quoting locals, police said following a case filed by Achhiya over dowry, they arrested her husband Anwar Hossain, 35, about two months ago and he was behind bars since then.
Anwar, son of Lal Mohammad Sheikh of Palita Beruiel village, and former Imam at Fulbari-Laxmikal Mosque, came out from the jail on bail two days ago.

Villagers took Achhiya to Magura Sadar Hospital, from where she was referred to Dhaka for better treatment. Achhiya died on her way to the capital around 3:00am.
Police recovered the body and sent it to Magura Sadar Hospital for autopsy.
