One killed, two shot in city

The victim Abul Barek Hawlader, 20, was a CNG mechanic at Khilgaon.

After killing Barek in front of a house behind Ulon mosque in the morning, the killers left the body on the road there.

On information, Khilgaon police recovered the body and took it to Dhaka Medical College morgue.

According to morgue sources, the miscreants first stabbed Barek in the throat and then shot him in the chest to confirm his death.

Victim's father Kashem Hawlader filed a case with Khilgaon Police Station where he mentioned the name of his son's three friends Babul, Selim and Babu as suspected killers.

Police said Barek had four cases including two filed for murder against him.

Meanwhile, extortionists shot at a businessman and his employee at Nababpur in the city as the businessman had lodged a complaint with Rab against them.

Bullet-hit Mohammad Liton, 32, owner of Mim Hardware Store, and employee Shyamol Barman, 35, are being treated at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH).

"An extortionist called me over my mobile phone during mid-Ramadan and introduced himself as Johnny. Claiming himself to be a local mastaan, he demanded toll from me," Liton told reporters at the DMCH.

As Liton refused to pay the toll, the caller threatened him with dire consequences.

"I contacted Rab-3 and told them about Johnny who stopped calling me after this," he added.

The incident took place when Liton and Shyamol were sitting at their shop at 2:45pm. Three to four miscreants opened fire on them from outside the shop.

Liton received two bullets while Shyamol one as the attackers fired about six to seven shots.
