A 21-year-old youth was stabbed to death allegedly by his friends over drug peddling in Bogura Sadar upazila on Tuesday.
The deceased Hridoy Akanda was son of Babu Akanda of Phulbaria Madhyapara.
Almas Ali Sarkar, in-charge of Phulbaria police outpost, said that there might have been previous dispute between Hriody and his friends over drug dealing that may have led to the killing.

At one stage, one of the friends stabbed him with sharp weapons and fled, the police official said, adding that the victim was rushed to TMSS Hospital.
Later, he succumbed to his injuries on way to Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical and College, he added.
