SONARGAON, NARAYANGANJ: A man was stabbed to death by his son in Sonargaon Upazila of the district on Sunday.
The incident took place in Gobindapur Village under Noagaon Union of the upazila at around 11:30 am.
The deceased was identified as Shafiqul Islam, 45, a resident of the area.
However, police arrested the accused Rifat, 18, son of the deceased, in the evening.
According to local sources, Rifat had been struggling with drug addiction for a prolonged period, which often led to conflicts within the family. On Sunday, he demanded Tk 2,000 from his father to fund his drug habit.
When Shafiqul refused and reprimanded him, an argument ensued. In a fit of rage, Rifat grabbed a knife from the house and stabbed his father, killing him on the spot.
Being informed, police recovered the body and sent it to Narayanganj General Hospital morgue for an autopsy.
Sonargaon PS OC Mohammad Abdul Bari confirmed the incident, adding that legal action would be taken in this regard.
