Youth killed in rivals’ attack

A youth was killed while trying to save his father allegedly from the wrath of a rival gang at Pahardanga village in Terokhada upazila on Tuesday night.

The deceased, Naim Sheikh, 25, was son of Piru Sheikh, 65, of the village.

Naim’s father Piru, who also sustained stab injuries during the attack, is now undergoing treatment at Khulna Medical College Hospital.

Local resident Taher Bepari said criminals entered Piru’s house by cutting its mud wall and attacked him sharp weapons on Tuesday night. 

They also stabbed Naim indiscriminately when he tried to save his father from the attackers, leaving his dead on the spot.
