A Chhatra League leader of Cox’s Bazar died from stab wounds in the early hours of Friday.
The deceased is Emon Hasan Maula, joint general secretary of Chhatra League’s Cox's Bazar municipality ward No 4 unit.
Cox's Bazar Sadar model police station OC Sheikh Munir-Ul Gias said the police were searching for those who had fatally injured the Chhatra League leader.
At about 9:30pm on Thursday, Emon went for a ride on his father’s motorcycle to the local Bakkhali River in Peshkar Para.
At one point, seven or eight people obstructed him, before stabbing him multiple times and leaving him critically injured. They also took away his motorcycle.
Locals rescued him and took him to Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital, where the doctor on duty referred him to Chittagong Medical College Hospital. He died while undergoing treatment there at around 3am on Friday.
Asiful Karim, president of the local Chhatra League unit, said the organization demanded the police immediately arrest the attackers and ensure their punishment.
