A 33-year-old railway employee was killed in Dhaka’s Mohakhali area on Saturday following a stabbing incident rooted in a personal dispute. The victim, identified as Mamun Bhuiyan, succumbed to his injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) that evening.

According to police, the altercation occurred around 1:30 p.m. at a rented residence in the TB Gate area of Mohakhali. Authorities report that a 30-year-old woman, Beauty Akter, allegedly attacked Bhuiyan with a knife, inflicting severe wounds to his abdomen and sensitive areas of his body. Both the victim and the suspect were reportedly from the Gafargaon upazila of Mymensingh.

Bhuiyan, who served as a second officer with Bangladesh Railways, was initially rushed to the National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital by local residents. Due to the severity of his condition, he was subsequently transferred to DMCH, where he passed away at approximately 7:30 p.m.
