Trader stabbed to death ‘by muggers’ in Jatrabari
A trader was stabbed to death allegedly by muggers in the capital’s Jatrabari area early Saturday.
The deceased was identified as Ashish Joaddar, 32, a cloth trader and son of Amal Joyaddar of Paturia village in Magura Sadar.
Al Amin, a witness, said when Ashish was walking past a warehouse under the Jatrabari flyover two to three muggers blocked his way and stabbed him with a knife.
Hearing his screams, locals rushed to the spot, prompting the attackers to flee without managing to snatch anything, he said.
He was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in critical condition around 1:30am where doctors on duty at the emergency department declared him dead, reports UNB.
Inspector Md Faruk, in-charge of the police camp at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, the body has been kept at the hospital morgue and the matter has been reported to Jatrabari Police Station.
