A suspected carjacker, who sustained bullet wounds early Tuesday in a "gunfight" with law enforcers in the capital's Gulistan, died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital yesterday.

Three alleged carjackers, including the deceased, Yasin Bepari, 26, and a constable of the Detective Branch of Police suffered bullet injuries in the incident.

All of them, including DB police constable Azizul Islam, 30, were admitted to the hospital where Yasin died from two gunshot wounds in the abdomen. Azizul was shot in the left knee.

Detectives said a group of carjackers, who were riding a snatched pick-up, opened fire on a 12-member team of DB police after they asked the gang to stop near Golap Shah Mazar in Gulistan around 12:30am Tuesday. The DB police team went there on secret information

that a pick-up had been snatched, they added.

The three wounded carjackers were arrested following the "gunfight" and taken to the hospital. They were Yasin, his younger brother Korban Bepari, 22, and Robiul, 24. Another miscreant evaded arrest.

Yasin's father Abdus Sobhan Bepari, a resident of Shibchar upazila in Madaripur, told The Daily Star that his two sons used to live in the capital's Begunbari area and drive pick-ups.

On Tuesday, detectives arrested Korban and made a phone call by him to Yasin asking him to come in front of Golap Shah Mazar, said Sobhan. When Yasin came with his pickup, the DB police shot him and injured him seriously, he added.

DB police constable Azizul, however, told The Daily Star that the miscreants opened fire on them first, and his team retaliated. His team is in-charge of preventing robbery and mugging in Dhaka south zone of DB police, he added.
