Mugger or enemy?

Sub-inspector shoots man; victim's family says personal conflict behind it

Shaheen Mollah
A man was shot in the legs in the capital yesterday by a police sub-inspector who has an "extramarital affair" with his wife, claimed the victim's family.
Police, however, claimed the injured is a "mugger" and they detained him during a raid and recovered an illegal firearm and three bullets from his possession.
Bullet-hit Shah Alam, 27, a private car driver in the city, was undergoing treatment at National Institute of Traumatology & Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (Nitor) yesterdayevening.
At the hospital, his brother Golam Mostafa told this correspondent that Alam recently discovered his wife's “extramarital affair" with Sub-Inspector Anwar Hossain of Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
Alam also came to know that his wife, who left him around one and half years ago, has been staying at a Keraniganj house rented by the sub-inspector, said Mostafa.
"My brother wanted his wife to come back and for this

sought help from some influential people of Keraniganj. Enraged, SI Anwar summoned my brother to Taltola and shot him twice from close range in the wee hours yesterday.“
Two years back, Alam was a chauffeur at Mohammadpur Police Station. SI Anwar was posted at the police station back then, Mostafa added.
Contacted, the police official denied all the allegations.
He claimed they had information that some "muggers" were gathering at Taltola to carry out mugging. As he and his team reached the area, the "muggers" started firing on them, promptingpolice to retaliate.
At one stage, the criminals started falling back and police found injured Alam lying on the ground, he said.
SI Anwar admitted that he knew the couple and Alam used to drive a car at Mohammadpur Police Station. Police
gave him the job to use him as a source to nab other muggers, he claimed.
He added that Alam's wife in 2012 came to Mohammadpur Police Station and filed a case against her husband for torturing her.
The Daily Star could not contact the wife.
According to family members, the couple has a two-year-old daughter, who lives with her mother in Keraniganj. Shah Alam too lives in Keraniganj but in a separate house.
Before the "separation", the couple used to live at a house in Mohammadpur's Bashbari, they added. The owner of a tailor shop adjacent to the house said a police officer often visited the house.
Biplab Kumar Sarkar, deputy commissioner (Tejgaon division) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, told The Daily Star they will form a probe committee to look into the matter.
