Rifat Sharif died due to excessive bleeding from six deep wounds on his body, said Dr Jamil Hossain, an assistant professor of Surgery Department of Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital (SBMCH) on Thursday.
"He received injuries on his throat, head and chest and most of his important veins were severed that prompted his death," Prof Jamil said after conducting an autopsy on Rifat's body, reports UNB.
Rifat Sharif, 22, was hacked to death by four miscreants in front of the main gate of Barguna College on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident was captured in a surveillance camera which showed miscreants stabbing Rifat indiscriminately while his wife was desperately trying to save him.
Barguna police station OC Abir Hossain Mahmud said: "Rifat's father, Dulal Sharif filed a First Information Report [FIR] against 12 named and five to seven unnamed people. We have arrested Chandan whose name was included in the FIR."
Barguna Police Superintendent Maruf Hossain informed that several check posts have been set up at different points in the town to arrest the criminals.
Several teams of police and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) are also trying to capture the miscreants.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has ordered to bring to book those involved in Rifat's killing.
Rifat was buried at the family graveyard at Labangola village following his namaz-e-janaza on Thursday evening.
