Youth who stabbed ASI found dead in Gaibandha pond

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 Sizu Mah, a trainee at the Technical Training Centre (TTC) in Gaibandha.

According to police, 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.

He then reportedly snatched the officer's rifle and fled the scene. In an apparent attempt to evade capture, the youth jumped into a pond adjacent to the thana.

Police cordoned off the area and launched a search, but were unable to locate him till midnight. A diving team from Rangpur was called in on Friday morning and 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 investigation.
