A teenager was stabbed to death by goons while he was trying to save his grandmother from the attack of the accused in Cox's Bazar Sadar upazila on Friday.
The deceased Alauddin, 17, was son of Imran, a resident of Samity Para area under the ward No-1 of Cox's Bazar municipality. Local ward councillor Aktar Kamla said local youths Fazal Karim and Mumin attacked the victim's grandmother, who runs a tea stall in the area, when she asked them to pay for the tea. Alauddin rushed to save his grandmother, who was being beaten and stabbed by the goons.
While he did manage to get her to safety, Alauddin ended up suffering stab wounds himself, and bled to death on the spot.
Cox's Bazar Sadar Model Police Station officer-in-charge (OC) Rakibuzzaman confirmed the matter, saying that the body was recovered and sent to Cox's Bazar Sadar hospital morgue for autopsy.
Efforts were on to nab those who were involved with the killing, he added.
