Police arrested a man in Daganbhuiyan on July 27 after a day laborer was allegedly stabbed to death beneath Feni town’s Mohipal flyover for protesting an attempted molestation of his wife. The victim, Nur Nabi Hossain, 30, was attacked at about 5:30am on July 26 and later died while being taken to Dhaka for treatment.

According to police, Nur Nabi and his wife, Bibi Fatema, were sleeping under the flyover when the accused, Md Shah Paran Faisal, also known as Saddam Hossain, allegedly tried to molest Fatema. Police said an argument followed after Nur Nabi intervened, and Faisal allegedly stabbed him repeatedly on both sides of his abdomen before fleeing.

Nur Nabi, originally from Bhola Sadar, had come to Feni after losing everything to river erosion and supported himself by collecting bottles and working as a day laborer. Fatema filed a murder case with Feni Model Police Station. Police said Faisal admitted involvement during preliminary questioning, and officers recovered a bloodstained knife from an abandoned pit beneath the flyover based on his information. He was sent to jail through a court.
