A man allegedly stabbed to death his 15-year-old daughter on Wednesday at Ghanashyampur village in Madhabpur upazila of Habiganj after failing to keep her away from mobile phone addiction.
Inspector Nur Mohammad of Kashimnagar Police Outpost said: “On information, we arrived at the scene and detained Abdus Rashid (victim’s father) and his wife Saheda Begum.”
According to the victim's mother Saheda Begum and uncle Farash Uddin, the deceased, Ranu Begum, was often seen talking on her mobile phone.
Despite repeated attempts, her parents failed to stop her mobile phone use.
Abdus Rashid returned home around 2:30pm on Wednesday and found his daughter talking on the phone.
After telling her to stop, Ranu continued the conversation, which enraged her father, they said.
At one stage, he attacked her with a sharp weapon in the yard of their house and stabbed her, leaving her dead, they said.
“The victim's body was sent to the Habiganj morgue for post-mortem,” said Officer-in-Charge Abdullah Al Mamun.
