Sadik received stab injuries in his hands and right leg, said Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) sources. The SI later was shifted to Rajarbagh Police Lines Hospital. Police suspect Sadik might have come under attack by one of two groups of infighting people at city's Mir Hazirbag at 10:00pm. The victim's father said his son found two groups of people were quarrelling in the area on his way home. "As he stopped and tried to settle the problem, people of one of the feuding groups attacked him considering him a member of their rival group," he added.
