A gold jewellery trader was hacked to death by unidentified assailants in a lane near his home in Mahadebpur, Naogaon, on Monday night.

The deceased was Alif Chandra Dutta, 50, son of the late Sunil Chandra Dutta of Dulalpara village. He was the owner of Dutta Jewellers at Mahadebpur Bazar.

According to his younger brother Prashanta Chandra, Alif was returning home after closing his shop around 7:30pm when the assailants attacked him from behind with sharp weapons near his home.

The attackers allegedly took six bhori of gold jewellery, Tk 600,000 in cash and the shop's account books before fleeing, he said.
