Son dead, father critical after attack in Mohammadpur
A young man was hacked to death and his father critically injured in an attack linked to previous enmity in Dhaka Udyan of the capital’s Mohammadpur area on Monday night.
The deceased was identified as Babu, 26. His father, Kashem, is undergoing treatment in critical condition.
The attack occurred around 8:30pm in D Block on Road No. 3 of Dhaka Udyan.
Akhtari Begum, sister of Kashem, said a dispute had broken out earlier in the evening between Kashem and a local man named Rajib over money on Road No. 4.
Around 8:30pm, Rajib, along with his associates—identified as Sabuj, Rubel, Masum, Billal, Mohan—and several others, attacked Kashem and his son in front of their home.
Both victims were rushed to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared Babu dead. Kashem was later transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital with severe injuries, reports UNB.
Abdullah Al Mamun, Assistant Police Commissioner of the Mohammadpur Zone, confirmed the incident and said efforts are underway to arrest those involved.
“We have already launched an operation to detain the attackers,” he said.
