The incident took place in the Kotbazar area of Chandpur.
Additional Superintendent of Kapasia Circle police Md. Asaduzzaman confirmed this incident.
Police and local sources said Helal was returning home on his motorcycle from a market when miscreants, who were lying in wait in a nearby litchi orchard, blocked his way, and attacked him with sharp weapons, leaving him critically injured.
He was rushed to Dhaka for treatment but died on the way, reports UNB.
