A 21-year-old man was stabbed to death, allegedly over playing billiards, at Namajgarh intersection in Bogura district town on Friday night.

The deceased was identified as Habibur Rahman Bipul, son of Saiful Islam of the area.

At one stage, Bipul engaged in a heated argument with the other playmates as they asked him to stay off the game around 8:45 pm.
