Shahidulla Killing
Land dispute behind murder
Three held
Police suspected that trader Mohammad Shahidulla might have been gunned down at Kunjaban in the city's East Rampura on Saturday night following a land dispute.
Rampura police yesterday arrested three local youths--Nur Islam Nura, Sumon and Babul--in this connection.
Unidentified gunmen shot dead Shahidulla in front of his five-storey Kunjaban residence.
Officer-in-Charge Sayedur Rahman of the police said the victim had a dispute over the land of the residence.
The OC however declined the names of the persons with whom the victim had enmity over the land.
He added they were carrying out the investigation considering victim's land dispute, business transactions and relation with locals and relatives.
Next-door neighbour Nasir Alam said around a year back a handmade cocktail was blasted in front of Rahman's building but locals could not trace attackers, as Rahman did not show interest in this regard.
Locals said Rahman who was the president of Kunjaban residential welfare association, did not allow local youths to gather or spend time around his residence, which oftentimes enraged youths.
Salamat Hossain Khan, a relative of the deceased, said on Saturday afternoon Rahman along with his two sons went out from his residence for a walk and after returning his flat on the second floor he came out at the evening and stood in front of his house only to be gunned down.
Khurshed Mia, a witness, said a youth suddenly appeared, drag out his firearms, fired two bullets at Rahman and fled the scene.
