GAIBANDHA, July 25, 2025 (BSS) - The body of a youth, who allegedly stabbed an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of police at Saghata thana in Gaibandha district on Thursday night, was recovered from a nearby pond on Friday morning.

The deceased was Sizu Mah, a trainee at the Technical Training Center (TTC) in Gaibandha.

According to police, the youth entered the Saghata thana police station around 10:45 pm on Thursday and suddenly attacked ASI Mohsin Ali with a sharp weapon, stabbing him repeatedly.

He then reportedly snatched the officer's rifle and fled the scene. In an apparent attempt to evade capture, the youth jumped into a pond adjacent to the thana.

The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
