A 25-year-old man was killed in broad daylight by unidentified miscreants in South Keraniganj of Dhaka on Saturday.


The victim, Sagir, was the son of Amir Hossain of Subhadya Uttarpara. He worked as a salesman at a clothing shop in the city’s Islampur area.

Syed Muhammad Akhtar Hossain, officer-in-charge of South Keraniganj Police Station, said the incident took place around 9:30 am on Saturday in front of Sudhar’s house in the Chunkutiya Nazirerbagh area.

The miscreants slit Sagir’s throat with a sharp weapon and fled the scene.
