Grocer stabbed to death over Tk10 note

A youth was stabbed to death and his father sustained critical injuries when neighbours attacked on them over a trifling matter in Mymensingh's Tarakadna upazila.

The victim is Iqbal Hossain, 22, a grocer of Digarkadna village in Tarakanda, reports our Mymensingh correspondent quoting police.

Quoting locals, Md Wazed Ali, officer-in-charge of Tarakanda Police Station, said an altercation broke out between Iqbal and Faruq Mia at the local Majhiali Bazar around 9:00pm on Tuesday over the exchange of a worn out Tk 10 note.

At one stage, Faruq and his younger brother Parvez Mia stabbed Iqbal to death, he added.  When Iqbal's father Sadek Munshi rushed to the spot to save his son, he was also stabbed indiscriminately.

Police detained two people for interrogation. However, Faruq and Parvez managed to flee.

Police has sent the body to Mymensingh Medical College and Hospital morgue for autopsy. No case has been filed yet over the matter, the OC added.
