NARSINGDI, Nov 2: A village doctor has allegedly been beaten to death after his son was involved in a scuffle at a badminton match in Narsingdi's Raipura Upazila.
The murder occurred in the Dighalia Kandi area of Banshgari Union around 10pm on Friday, said Raipura Police Station chief Abdul Jabbar.
The deceased has been identified as 49-year-old Md Abdullah, a doctor by profession.
Citing the victim's family, the police chief said Abdullah's younger son Sajeeb was watching a badminton match near his home on Friday evening.
Sajeeb got into a fight with Anwar, the son of another local named Ali Hossain, over an 'insignificant incident' on the playground at the time, the police official said.
The two scuffled before returning to their homes.
"Following the incident, Anwar and 10 to 15 of his accomplices attacked Sajeeb's house around 9:45pm. Sajeeb's father Abdullah suffered critical injuries in the attack," the OC said. —bdnews24.com
