Armed criminals stabbed a retired government official and his son at Madartek’s Begunbari area of Sabujbagh in the capital yesterday.
Abul Hossain, a former assistant director of the Board of Investment (BOI), received critical stab injuries on his shoulder and wrists, and his 45-year-old son Ahad Hossain on the face and legs during the incident around 5am.
They are now receiving treatment at the National Institute of Traumatology & Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Centre. Police suspected that the attack was either a robbery attempt or was due to a personal enmity.
Injured Abul, who also owns the building, said seven to eight criminals entered his house at gunpoint and tied up the gatekeeper.
