Three gunned down in city

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Unidentified miscreants gunned down two gold traders inside their gold-store at Tantibazar area in Old Dhaka and a phone-shop owner at Madhubagh in city's Uttara area yesterday.
The gold traders are Madhab Sarkar (35), son of Brindaban Sarkar, and his nephew Bhushan Sarkar (30), son of Ballabh Sarkar, residents of 4 Jhulanbari, Radhikamohan Basak Lane under Kotwali Police Station. Both worked at the Bishal Silver Store that sells ornament-making tools.

Employees of the store were out for lunch break when a gang of around five armed men entered the store at around 3:45pm and opened fire on the two indiscriminately, said witnesses.
"Madhab, the owner of the store, was lying on the floor resting and Bhushan was reading a newspaper when I left the store for lunch," said Madhab's employee and brother-in-law Khushimohan Sarkar.
"I heard a few gunshots while taking my lunch," said an elderly neighbour adding, "Later, I found them lying in a pool of blood inside the store."
The gang exploded at least six bombs to make their way out of the Tantibazar area and fled towards Nabarail area through the Kotwali Road, said the witnesses.
Madhab left behind his wife and two daughters--Jayanti (14) and Chaitri (10), while Bhushan left wife and an infant son.
In the other incident, Shahidur Rahman Shahid, 25, owner of a phonefax shop at Madhubagh area in Dakkhin Khan, was killed at around 5:30pm.
Shahid was working at his shop when a gang of about three appeared and opened fire on him indiscriminately and fled, said the victim's mother Sufia Begum.
He was rushed to the Uttara Women's Medical College and Hospital and later shifted to the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) where doctors declared him dead at 7:45pm.
His body was sent to the DMCH morgue for autopsy. He received two bullets in the head and chest, said morgue sources.
Sufia could not specify any reason behind the killing of his son. "I don't know if my son had enmity with anyone," she told reporters at the DMCH.
Police could not give details of the murder at 9:15pm.
