The body of a youth, who allegedly stabbed an assistant sub-inspector of police at Saghata thana in Gaibandha Thursday night, was recovered from a nearby pond Friday morning.
The deceased is Sizu Mah, a trainee at the Technical Training Center in Gaibandha.
According to police, the youth entered the Saghata thana police station at around 10:45pm Thursday and suddenly attacked ASI Mohsin Ali with a sharp weapon, stabbing him repeatedly.
He then reportedly snatched the officer鈥檚 rifle and fled the scene. In an apparent attempt to evade capture, the youth jumped into a pond adjacent to the thana.
Police cordoned off the area and launched a search, but were unable to locate him till the midnight. Later, a diving team from Rangpur reached the spot and recovered the youth鈥檚 body from the pond.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
Deputy inspector general of police, Rangpur range, Aminul Islam, and superintendent of police Nishat Anjella visited the scene in the morning to oversee the investigation.
