A mosque khatib named Saiful Islam was stabbed to death by rival in Bogra over the issue of land boundary demarcation. The incident took place in the city’s Mahbubnagar area on Sunday (March 1) morning.
Police said that while trying to demarcate the land boundary, the nephew of the former owner of the land, Vikram, along with a group of people, stabbed Saiful Islam repeatedly.
