Police recovered the body and sent it to the morgue of Munshiganj General Hospital for autopsy.
The victim's family alleged that Arif's younger brother, Akash, had a long-standing dispute over financial transactions with Noor Mohammed, another local butcher.
The two sides reportedly clashed at Munshirhat Bazar yesterday morning over the issue.
Family members alleged that when the attackers failed to find Akash, they targeted Arif instead and stabbed him to death.

"The body bears multiple stab wounds. It has been sent for post-mortem examination, and legal action is underway," the police official said.
