Youth hacked to death in Savar

A youth was hacked to death at Vorari in Savar, outside the capital, on Monday night for Tk 2,000 that he lent to his neighbour.

Khursheduzzaman Rubel, 27, son of Sadek Ali, was a taxi driver.

Victim's wife Farjana Begum claimed that Liton, a garment worker, owed Tk 2,000 to Khurshed and on that night Liton's landlord Aslam phoned her husband and called him over to Liton's place.

Aslam during primary interrogation admitted to police that he only called Khurshed but it was Liton who along with four associates killed him.

Hearing a hue and cry, locals rushed Khurshed to Enam Medical College Hospital where he was declared dead. Liton is absconding.

Police sent the body for an autopsy. A murder case was filed.
