‘Drug peddler’ stabbed dead in Chattogram
A listed ‘drug peddler’ was stabbed to death by miscreants at his residence in the Bakalia area of Chattogram city early Thursday.
The deceased was identified as Md Sobhan, 30, son of Nur Islam of Taktar Pool of Bakalia. He was wanted in a number of cases, including 18 drug-related ones, police said.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Bakalia Police Station Shahinur Alam said a group of miscreants stormed into Sobhan’s residence around 12:15am and stabbed him indiscriminately, leaving him injured.
Later, he was taken to Chattogram Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
The OC said they were working to find those involved in the killing.
Earlier, Sobhan had allegedly planned the murder of a man named Mohiuddin to maintain control and dominance over the drug trading in Taktar Pool area.
He was also accused of hiring hitmen and supplying them with foreign-made pistols and ammunition for the planned murder.
Locals suspected that long-standing disputes and rivalry over control of the area may have led to the killing, reports UNB.
However, the actual motive and identities of those involved will be determined through investigation, police said.
