Rahman murder: Police clueless
Police have yet to find out the cause of the murder of Kazi Abdur Rahman, general secretary of Dhaka city ward no. 39 BNP, who was shot dead by unidentified criminals at East Tejturi Bazar in the city Thursday night.
Investigators, however, said they were carrying out the investigation putting emphasis on the victim's political and business rivalry.
Abdur Rahman was an aspirant councilor for the upcoming Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) election and the organising secretary of Bangladesh Truck Owners' Association.
The victim's brother Mujibur Rahman yesterday filed a murder case with Tejgaon Police Station in this regard accusing some unidentified people.
Tejgaon OC Mahbubur said, "So far we picked up eight persons and interrogated them but found nothing significant."
He said they, however, have made it sure that about 13 attackers took part in the killing mission.
"As Kazi Abdur Rahman started campaign for his candidature as councilor in the DCC election, his rivals within the party might have a hand in the incident," said the OC.
Abdur Rahman, father of two children, used to live at his flat in Bashundhara in Badda but he used to spend most of his time in Tejturi Bazar area for his transport business.
