Arrested for killing a friend with a knife
Bangladesh RAB forces arrested a man from Patuakhali yesterday for allegedly stabbing his friend to death. RAB-7 Patuakhali Company Commander Shahidul Islam confirmed the information at a press conference at a local RAB camp on Saturday afternoon.
The incident took place in the evening of January 4 in a slum in Vrindavan area of Dhaka Turag. He is a resident of Muradnagar area of Mainamati, Comilla.
During the initial interrogation of the RAB, Imam said that he had been living in a slum in Vrindavan area with his wife for a long time. Imam's friend Md. Russell Ahmed also lived in that slum. The deceased Russell used to visit Imam's house on the pretext of friendship. At one point, the imam started arguing with Russell. At that moment, he struck Russell on the back with a knife in his hand. At that moment, when his wife Russell came to his rescue, he was also hit by the murderous Imam.
According to the RAB, the imam then reported the matter to his father-in-law on his mobile phone. Later, his father-in-law rescued Russell and his daughter and took them to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital. A doctor working there declared Russell dead. A murder case was filed. Only Imam was accused in that case. Imam's wife is still undergoing treatment.
It was further stated at the press conference that Imam left for Barguna by bus after the incident.
