Aftab's brother Afroz Uddin filed the case with Mirpur Police Station last night mentioning that Osman hired some goons to kill his brother as he defeated Osman twice in the election of a market committee at Mirpur in the city.

The complainant also mentioned that Osman, Dish Shahin, Rezu, Shahadat and Khorshed used to demand a huge amount of money as extortion from his brother.

Meanwhile, police produced Osman before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's (CMM) Court, Dhaka yesterday with a petition for a seven-day remand for interrogation.

The court, however, granted Osman a one-day remand.

Two motorcyclists shot Aftab near his house at Block-E at Mirpur on Sunday sparking a violent protest by locals.

Family sources said Aftab is recovering his wound. He was shifted to Samarita Hospital from Dhaka Medical College Hospital yesterday.

Law enforcers were deployed in different markets at Mirpur Section-1 yesterday while police were patrolling the road.
