An old fisherman named Gopal Chandra Halder (60) was accused of trying to kill an old fisherman by stabbing his throat at Chatmohar in Pabna due to a previous dispute. He was sent to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital in critical condition.

The incident took place at a saloon located in Shahi Masjid area of ​​Chatmohar town center on Saturday (October 12) around 4 pm.

No one could immediately tell the exact reason for this assassination attempt. However, the locals initially think that there was a dispute about something.

Local eyewitnesses said that during the incident, Gopal Chandra entered Halda's salon. At that time, the glass of the shop was blocked from inside. After three-four minutes, the locals came forward when shouting and scuffling was heard from inside the saloon. Outsiders could not enter as the glass was blocked from inside.

At that time, before anyone could understand anything, the accused Jeevan opened the glass of the shop and ran away.
