Cops still clueless

Two days have passed since a doctor of Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) was stabbed in his house at Agrabad in the port city on Monday but law enforcement agencies are yet to trace any of the assailants and the motive of the attack.

Earlier on Monday, two unidentified persons stabbed Tarek Shams, an outpatient medical officer of CMCH, leaving him critically injured at his house entering mysteriously in North Agrabad of Chittagong city.

Tarek's father, Dr Shamsul Alam, filed a case with Halishahar Police Station on Tuesday accusing two unidentified miscreants, said police.

Syed Mohammad Ahsanul Islam, officer-in-charge of Halishahar Police Station, said they recovered a cleaver from the spot.

Police suspect that the attack was launched as a result of previous enmity.

However, Tarek's mother, a former principal of Agrabad Mohila College, said that her son had no enmity with anybody as he was apolitical and popular among the locals.

The victim is out of danger now, the hospital sources said. He was taken to the ICU at CMCH and undergone an operation following the incident.
