According to RAB, the victim — Akash Ghosh — a resident of Goalpara Pukurpar area and a mobile mechanic by profession, had replaced the display of Sani's mobile phone about a month ago.
He demanded Tk1,500 for the repair, of which accused Sani paid only part. When Akash continued to ask for the remaining amount, Sani allegedly lured him to an alley in Kasaipara around 1am on Thursday (13 November).
There, in a premeditated attack, Sani and his associates allegedly hacked Akash with sharp weapons, killing him.
Locals rushed to the scene and took Akash to Chattogram Medical College Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
RAB said legal proceedings are underway.
