Attempt on boy's life
A schoolboy escaped an alleged attempt on his life at Chameshwari village under Sadar upazila on Tuesday. Bappy Roy, 08, son of Atya Roy of the same village and a student of class-II at Chowdhuryhat Registered Primary School in Sadar upazila is now undergoing treatment at Thakurgaon Sadar Hospital. Mother of the boy Putul Roy told this correspondent that the boy was trying to ride his father's bicycle with his younger brother Sumon Roy on the road in front of their house. At one stage, they went in front of Shombhu Roy's house, about 100 yards away where his bicycle hit Kolim Roy, 30, son of Shombhu Roy. Kolim was returning home with his cattle. Agitated Kolim held Bappy with a piece of rope around his heck and started to drag him on the ground. Local people rescued the boy hearing his screams. The victim's mother claimed that it was not a joke, it was an attempt to murder.
