A local Jubo Dal activist was stabbed to death in Joypurhat's Panchbibi upazila on Thursday night, allegedly over a dispute involving Tk 21,000 from a local mosque fund.

The deceased was identified as Yanur Hossain, 30, son of Yasin Ali of Chalakhur village in the upazila.

Quoting the victim's family, Hafiz Md Raihan, officer-in-charge of Panchbibi Police Station, told The Daily Star that Yanur and his friend Al Amin was staying in the Dhakarpara area of Shalaipur Bazar that night.

Sohel, 38, an alleged associate of Mostafa and Moinul, was apprehended by locals and handed over to the police.

"At one stage, Yanur's rivals swooped on them and stabbed both Yanur and Al Amin with sharp weapons around 10:30pm, leaving them critically injured," the OC said.

Police, with the help of locals, rushed the victims to Panchbibi Upazila Health Complex, where the on-duty doctor declared Yanur dead.

Al Amin was later shifted to Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital in Bogura, where he is undergoing treatment.

Golam Rabbani Rabbi, former joint convener of district Jubo Dal, said there is currently no active Jubo Dal committee in Joypurhat, but Yanur had been a long-time active member of the organisation, according to UNB.

Family members alleged that locals Mostafa and Moinul, rivals of Yanur, carried out the attack due to a dispute over Tk 21,000 belonging to a mosque.

They said Yanur's brother, Abdul Momin, had filed a case with Panchbibi Police Station about a month ago over the dispute against Mostafa, Moinul, and others. The accused later secured bail.

Process is underway to file a murder case, the OC added.
