Criminals cut off wrists of youth
Criminals severed the wrists of a youth at Collegepara in Jhenidah town yesterday.
The victim is Tarun Hossain, 17, son of Ramzan Ali of Beparipara in the town.
Police quoted Tarun as saying that a girl called him to Collegepara over cellphone at around 1:00pm. When he reached near the women's college, a gang of six swooped on him, cut off his wrists with a sharp weapon and left the scene.
Locals took the youth to Jhenidah Sadar Hospital where he was operated upon.
Contacted, officer in-charge (OC) of Sadar police station Iqbal Bahar said Tarun is an accused in several cases including two for murder. Feud between the criminal gangs or love affair between the girl and Tarun might be the reason for this incident, the OC added.
Talking to this correspondent at the hospital, Tarun said an unidentified girl sought his help over mobile phone, saying that she is in trouble and urged him to come to Collegepara.
As I reached near women's college at around 1:30pm, a gang of six, including Billal and Jewel of Adarshapara in the town, arrived there in a microbus and severed my wrists, Tarun said.
Police said they are looking for the girl and the criminals.
