A young man was brutally stabbed to death in front of Mizmizi Tara Market in Siddhirganj, Narayanganj, on Sunday at around 6am.
Police have detained a suspect, identified as Alamin, in connection with the incident.
According to eye-witnesses and local sources, the victim, identified as Roni, suffered severe injuries inflicted by miscreants using sharp weapons. Locals said that there were 20 to 22 stab marks on his back, and he died on the spot due to excessive bleeding. His identity was initially verified using the National Identity Card (NID) found on his person.
Upon receiving news of the incident, personnel from Siddhirganj Police Station reached the spot and detained Alamin, son of Abdul Ali of Siddhirganj. A local resident, Rakibul Islam, said Alamin was spotted standing roughly 30 metres away from the scene. When questioned by local residents, Alamin admitted to stabbing Roni.
Rakibul further noted that Roni and Alamin had engaged in an argument a day or two earlier, and it is presumed that the killing took place as a result of that feud. Local residents subjected Alamin to a mass beating before handing him over to the police.
Siddhirganj Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Emdadul Haque confirmed the detention of Alamin over the fatal stabbing of Roni. He said that Sub-Inspector (SI) Oliullah was dispatched to the location, adding that detailed information will be provided following the filing of a formal case and further investigation.
