A father allegedly killed his drug-addicted son with a cutting tool at Bamail Madhyapara area of Demra in Dhaka on Tuesday.

The deceased was Bakir Hossain, 25, an auto-rickshaw driver.


The father, Kashem, was arrested and sent to court.

The police recovered Bakir’s body and sent it to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for autopsy.

Demra police station officer-in-charge Mahmudur Rahman said that a dispute over drug money escalated when the father pushed his son, causing the cutting tool to pierce his chest.

‘A case has been filed, and Kashem remains in jail custody,’ he added. The body was later handed over to the family after the post-mortem.
