An apprentice lawyer, who was stabbed on November 1 over property-related disputes, died in a hospital in Bogura Sadar upazila yesterday.

Abdul Bari Chan, 40, a trainee lawyer at the Bogura judge court, was attacked with sharp weapons near his home in the upazila's Chak Farid area, allegedly by locals who had a long-standing dispute with him over property.

Locals and his relatives rushed him to the Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College.
