A young man named Titu Rahman (32) was stabbed to death for preventing the theft of batteries from the bridge construction area on the Dinajpur Canal.
The incident took place at 1 am on Wednesday in Sipahipara, a lane in Dinajpur city.
The deceased Titu is the son of the deceased Siddiq Sikder of the area. The accused killer in the incident, Rizon alias Rafi Molla (24), has fled. Rafi Molla is the son of Raju Molla of the area.
Dinajpur Kotwali Police Station Officer-in-Charge Nur Nabi confirmed this information.
It is learnt that a bridge construction work is underway over the canal in the Linepar area. The deceased Titu's elder brother Biplob Rahman was working as a guard for the construction work. On Wednesday night, elder brother Biplob went home leaving Titu to guard the project area. At that time, when Raju's son Rizon from the same area came to steal the bridge's car battery and road cutting equipment, Titu shouted 'thief, thief'. An argument started between the two. At one stage, Rizon hit Titu on the stomach and thigh with a sharp weapon and fled. Hearing Titu's screams, locals including his family members rushed to the spot. Later, he was rescued and taken to Dinajpur Medical College Hospital, where the doctor on duty declared him dead.
Dinajpur Kotwali Police Station OC Nur Nabi said that an autopsy report has been prepared on the deceased's body. Legal action will be taken if the family receives a complaint. A drive is underway to arrest the killer, Rizon.
