Panicked, old man dies of heart attack
An old man died allegedly of a heart attack in panic after seeing a scuffle between his grandchild and some customers centring purchase of a gold chain in the city's Noyatola area last evening.
The deceased Babar Ali, 60, is owner of a jewellery shop and a resident of that area.
Shiblee Noman, officer-in-charge of Ramna Police Station, said a man came to the shop in the morning and sold a gold chain to Babar's grandchild Tuhin for Tk 1,200. In the evening, the man returned the money and took the chain back.
Half an hour later, the man along with some others came and claimed that the returned chain was not his. A scuffle began and Babar, who was sitting there and watching the incident, panicked and died of a heart attack, said Noman.
