An activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) succumbed to injuries after being stabbed by rivals in Chattogram's Bakalia area this morning.

Ashikur Rahman Rohit was a first-year student of MES College of the city and was critically injured following stab injuries during an election campaign, said police sources.

Ashikur and the alleged killers were both supporters of AL nominated Pashchim Bakalia ward councillor candidate Md Shahidul Alam.

OC of Bakalia Police Station Nezam Uddin said he was stabbed on January 8 evening at Dewanbazar area over previous enmity.

"The victim and the killers both are supporters of Shahidul Alam and few days ago a brawl ensued between them over anti-drug posters in their area," said the OC.

OC Nezam said, locals Mohiuddin, Babu and Sabu called Ashik tactfully from Chawakbazar DC road area and later stabbed him on January 8 at around 5:30 pm.

He was later admitted to Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) where he died today, said the OC.

Police were trying to arrest the killer. Victim's brother Jahidur Rahman filed a case in this connection. The body was sent to CMCH morgue for autopsy.
