Assailants shot to death an activist of the Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, the youth wing of the ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party, in the capital’s Mirpur-13 area on Friday night.
The deceased was identified as Yusuf Ali, 45, an activist of Kafrul thana unit Jubo Dal.
The attack also injured two other
people. Rescuers rushed Yusuf and the two injured to Dhaka Medical College
Hospital, where the on-duty doctor declared Yusuf dead.
One of the injured was identified as Hafizur Rahman, member secretary of the Kafrul unit Jubo Dal.
Locals said a group of seven to eight people, including Hafizur, were sitting together in the area around 11:30pm when three armed assailants opened indiscriminate fire on them.
Hafizur was hit by two bullets, while Yusuf sustained a gunshot wound to the chest.
Following the incident, local residents apprehended a suspected armed assailant and handed him over to the police. His identity was not immediately known.
Kafrul police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Saiful Islam said three people were injured in the shooting.
“We are investigating the matter and working to identify those involved in the attack,” the OC added.
