According to the locals, last Wednesday, Rabiul and Ali Hossain smoked in front of Sohail (28). Sohial is senior than them and he became angry as two young boys were smoking in front of him. So, they got into a quarrel.
The next day, on Thursday evening, Sohail called Rabiul and Ali to talk on this matter. Sohail's brother Sumon, Shuvo and Nazrul Islam’s son Rakib and some others were present at the time. At one point in the altercation, two men struck Rabiul in the neck with a sharp knife and threw him to the ground. Ali Hossain was stabbed in the back, hand and chest and was seriously injured.
After hearing their screams, locals came to their rescue and took them to Srinagar Upazila Health Complex. From there, Rabiul was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where the on-duty doctor declared him dead. One of the killers identified, Sohel, is a night guard of Upazila Land Office.
