However, the cops refused to accept it. Biswajit's father further said that the deceased had passed some nasty comments about his mother after which he could not control his anger and stabbed Nirmal. 

This year, another such incident took place in Silchar where a 22 year old boy was stabbed to death in the middle of the road. The deceased was identified as Bibek Dey, a resident of Malugram.
