A National University student was killed in a knife attack allegedly by muggers in Gazipur's Tongi early today (10 July).

Deceased Md Mahfuzur Rahman, 22, from Hayatshar village in Barishal sadar upazila, was an honours first year student at Government Syed Hatem Ali College, Barishal, under the National University. 

According to police, Mahfuzur was intercepted by unidentified muggers on a flyover near Sena Kalyan Bhaban in Tongi Bazar around 1am. As he resisted mugging, they stabbed him indiscriminately.
