Miscreants on Saturday chopped RU Sociology teacher professor Dr AKM Shafiul Islam to death in front of his residence in Choddapai area of Rajshahi.

Pro Vice-chancellor Professor Chowdhury Sarwar Jahan told banglanews that Shafiul, at that time, was on his way to home by a motorcycle.

Miscreants, somehow, intercepted his vehicle, indiscriminately stabbed on his neck and back with sharp weapons and fled the scene, leaving him inured critically, he added.

Fatally injured Shafiul was rushed to Rajshahi Medical College and Hospital (RMCH) where he succumbed to his injuries.

Ansar al Islam has admitted the killing. The little known organization has taken the guilt within hours of Shafiul killed.
