Teenager stabbed to death in city
A teenager was stabbed to death at Jatrabari in the capital following a clash between two groups last night.
The dead is Akbar Hossain, 18, son of Hanif Shikder of Jatrabari's Sutikhalpar area.
Witnesses said the incident took place around 9:30pm when some 20 to 25 boys from nearby Dolphin Alley came to Sutikhalpar area and started to beat a group of boys there.
At one point, a youth stabbed Akbar in his abdomen with a knife, said Anik, who was also injured in the incident.
Around 10:30pm, Akbar was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival, said hospital sources.
Anik told The Daily Star they had slapped some of the attackers in Sutikhalpar area following an altercation on Tuesday night. The attackers left the area afterwards.
The altercation broke out as both the groups were claiming to be superior to each other.
A similar incident happened last night. But this time, they returned to the area with more boys and carried out the attack, killing Akbar, added Anik.
Aboni Sankar, officer-in-charge of Jatrabari Police Station, said they were investigating the incident.
