OUR CORRESPONDENT, Narayanganj

A Swechch-hasebak Dal leader was shot dead in front of his business establish-ment at Fatullah in Narayanganj early morning yesterday.

The victim, Mamun Hossain, 40, was the son of late Saman Ali and a joint convener of the Fatullah unit of BNP’s volunteer wing.

He ran a construction material business in Purba Lalpur, where the incident took place around 4:30am, said Shariful Islam, officer-in-charge of Fatullah Model Police Station.

Mamun’s elder brother Amjad Hossain said someone called Mamun out just after he had returned home and gone to sleep late on Thursday night. The family did not know who the caller was.

“Azad, a worker who sleeps inside Mamun’s business establishment, heard the gunshots and came out to find Mamun lying motionless in a pool of blood,” the brother said.
