Gaibandha: The body of a youth, who allegedly stabbed an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of police at Saghata thana in Gaibandha district on Thursday night, was recovered from a nearby pond on Friday morning. The deceased was identified as Sizu Mah, a trainee at the Technical Training Center (TTC) in Gaibandha.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the youth entered the Saghata thana police station around 10:45 pm on Thursday and suddenly attacked ASI Mohsin Ali with a sharp weapon, stabbing him repeatedly. Following the attack, he reportedly snatched the officer's rifle and fled the scene. In a desperate bid to evade capture, the youth jumped into a pond adjacent to the thana.
Despite police efforts to cordon off the area and conduct a thorough search, they were unable to locate him until midnight. A diving team from Rangpur was subsequently called in on Friday morning and successfully recovered the youth's body from the pond. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, Rangpur Range, Aminul Islam, and Superintendent of Police (SP) Nishat Anjella visited the scene this morning to oversee the ongoing investigation.
