An intern lawyer died after he was stabbed with knife near his house in Gazipur yesterday evening.
Enamul Haque Biplob, 42, son of late Khandaker Shamsuddin of north Chhayabithi area, practiced at the district sessions judge court.
Two local men - Rabbi, 25, and Robin, 20 - attacked Biplob when he reached near his house around 5:30pm.
They stabbed him with a knife and hit him hard with a rod.
Locals took the victim to Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmed Medical College Hospital but doctors advised to take him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital as his condition deteriorated, said police.
Biplob’s elder brother Khandaker Aminul Haque Tutul, also the former attorney general of the Supreme Court, told the Dhaka Tribune Biplob died on the way to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
He said he had no idea why Biplob had been attacked, adding that the body would be taken back to Gazipur as he died on the way.
Sub-Inspector of Joydebpur police station Abdul Hamid said Biplob was attacked over previous enmity.
He also said police were trying to arrest the attackers.
