A 22-year-old man has died following a brutal assault by his uncle in Meherpur’s Gangni upazila, a violent escalation triggered by a dispute over a stolen bicycle. The victim, Nahid Hossain, succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday morning while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Dhaka.
The fatal altercation began on Sunday after the suspect, 35-year-old Lalon Hossain, accused his nephew of stealing his bicycle. The accusation sparked an immediate confrontation between the two residents of Tetulbaria village, which intensified into a heated argument the following day. According to local witnesses, the dispute turned lethal on Monday when Lalon attacked Nahid with a *hashua*, a traditional curved blade, inflicting multiple severe wounds.

Mohaddid Morshed Chowdhury, officer-in-charge of the Gangni Police Station, confirmed that the victim’s father is in the process of filing a formal murder case. Police have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack and are currently searching for the suspect.
