A college student was stabbed to death by a teen gang in Noakhali on Monday.
The incident took place in the district’s ward no 2 of Chandrapur Mahalla at around 8pm, reports Bangla Tribune.
The deceased has been identified as Md Jobayer, 18, a first-year college student at Noakhali Ideal Polytechnic Institute.
So far, two teens were detained for their suspected involvement in the murder, said Sudharam police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Anwarul Islam.
They are being interrogated, the OC added.
Family members claim Jobayer slapped a boy named Rakib over some trivial matter on Monday morning. Later, Rakib, his elder brother Ahad, Piyash, and some other teenagers attacked Jobayer over the matter.
In the evening, Jobayer went to his friend Laden’s house, after he invited him over through a phone call. When he went out, some eight to 10 members of a teen gang attacked and stabbed Jobayer multiple times.
Jobayer was rushed to Noakhali General Hospital by locals. When his condition deteriorated, doctors referred him to a Dhaka hospital, but Jobayer succumbed to his injuries on the way.
