The incident took place at Purba Arichpur area on Saturday afternoon over a dispute involving a game, said Md Kamal Hossain, chief of Tongi East Police Station.

The victim has been identified as Prottoy, a student of Shaheed Cadet Academy and son of Md Shahjahan Kabir from Arichpur.

Prottoy will not be able to complete his JSC exams as he is undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, said victim’s elder sister Helena Akter.

“Prottoy had an altercation with two students of Siraj Uddin Sarker Vidyaniketan and College over a few days ago,” she told bdnews24.com.

On Saturday afternoon, Prottoy was on his way home on his bicycle when several students on motorcycles blocked his way, stabbed him and fled.

Local residents rescued him and rushed to Shaheed Ahsan Ullah Master General Hospital in Tongi. He was later shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, said Helena.
