Traders scuffle ends with murder in Tura market

Tura, Jan 7: A verbal altercation between two non tribal traders on the streets of Tura bazar on Tuesday morning ended gruesomely after one of them was stabbed with a dagger leading to his death.

According to Tura police, the incident took place at around 11:25 AM when the two traders, uncle and nephew dealing in arecanut sale, indulged in a verbal feud that soon escalated into a physical altercation wherein the nephew Minural Islam (24 years) stabbed his uncle Jaha Uddin with a dao ( dagger).

Bleeding profusely from the wound inflicted on his stomach, Jaha Uddin was taken to Tura Civil Hospital but couldn’t be saved.
