Youth hacked to death
Miscreants hacked a youth to death while he was trying to save his friend at Gazipur city's Bhurulia yesterday.
Nayeem Sarker (22) was a student of Model Institute of Science and Technology.
His friend Munna, also a student of the institute, was injured, said police.
Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Muhammad Alamgir Bhuiyan said Munna was chatting with a friend on the institute premises when the girl's two brothers -- Royal and Rana -- with other youths rushed to the spot and beat Munna up.
Munna tried to go away but they waylaid him in front of local Mahbub Market. The gang beat him there again, prompting him to call his friend Nayeem over phone.
When Nayeem arrived, the two friends and other youths scuffled over the issue and, at one stage, the gang hacked them indiscriminately, said the OC.
Locals took them to Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital where the doctors declared Nayeem dead.
Police detained Royal's father Tipu Sultan and one Emon (20) for interrogation, said the OC.
Following the death, locals set Tipu Sultan's house on fire, said police.
Three firefighting units from Joydevpur station rushed to the spot and doused the blaze in an hour, said fire official Mamun-or-Rashid.
