A young man was hacked to death by the miscreants on the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway at Gouripur bus stand in Cumilla’s Daudkandi on Friday night, July 25.

Dead Md Al Mamun was a resident of Sholakandi village in Titas upazila and an accused in 23 cases, including of murder, drug and extortion, Daudkandi model police station’s officer-in-charge Junayet Chowdhury told Jago News.
