Two individuals, including an SSC examinee, were killed in separate stabbing incidents in Dhaka’s Mirpur and Kamrangirchar areas on Sunday night.

In Mirpur, Sifat, 18, who sat for his SSC examinations from a local school this year, was allegedly stabbed by his friend around 10:30pm.

Critically injured, Sifat was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where he died around midnight, said Inspector Md Farouk, in-charge of the DMCH police outpost.

Sifat’s father Md Shahin alleged that Sifat recently had an altercation with one of his friends over an unspecified issue. At one point, the friend stabbed Sifat on the left side of his abdomen.

“His other friends first took him to a local hospital and then to DMCH,” he added.

In Kamrangirchar, Rocky, 31, was stabbed to death in the Beribadh area near Matbor Bazar around midnight, reportedly following a dispute over money.

Locals rushed him to DMCH, where doctors declared him dead at approximately 12:45am, Inspector Farouk added.
