A 38-year-old man returning home on a bike was waylaid and stabbed to death by miscreants in the Batrish Hazari area of Lalmonirhat in the small hours of Thursday, police said.
The deceased was identified as Ayub Ali, a mobile phone trader and son of Abdul Matin of Hariswar area in Kaliganj upazila.

"They tried to snatch a bag containing money from his possession. When Ayub resisted, the miscreants stabbed him indiscriminately, leaving him dead on the spot," the OC said.
Efforts are on to identify and nab the perpetrators of the crime, he added.
