went on a hunt for arms hidden behind the Green Super Market at 2:20am where, according to police claim, accomplices of Babu opened fire on them.
Police also fired bullets in defence. During the shootout Babu tried to flee from police and fell in the line of firing, police said. He received bullets in the neck and back.
Two police officials -- SubInspector (SI) Khabir Ahmed and Constable Hamid -- were also injured in the incident.
Babu was rushed to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) where doctors declared him dead at 3:15am.
Meanwhile, around five hundred residents brought out a procession in the locality expressing joy after hearing the news of Babu's death and chanted slogans against terrorism.
In a separate incident, unknown men shot and injured Jahid Hassan,
38, and Shafiul Alam, 42, managers of hotel Sea Queen in the city's Banani area, at 6:30am when the two were sleeping. Injured with bullets in the legs, they were rushed to the DMCH where they told reporters they had no clue to the attack.
Meanwhile, muggers shot two vegetable traders -- Ataur Rahman, 35, and Delwar Hossain, 28 -- after stopping them in front of the new gate of the Film Development Corporation (FDC) in the city's Tejgaon area at 6:30am and snatched Tk 15,000. With bulletwounds in the legs, the two were undergoing treatment at the DMCH.
In another incident, extortionists shot Mohammad Milon, 30, a construction worker, at section 2 of Mirpur at 6:45am. Milon was rushed to Orthopaedics Hospital with bullets in the left hand and leg.
Hoodlums attacked Milon as the owner of the under-construction building refused to pay toll, police said.
