BNP-linked gang shoots at police gunman in city


A group of BNP-linked hoodlums shot at a police constable assigned as bodyguard to the commissioner of Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) Ward 62 in the city's Lalbagh area Saturday night.

The injured constable, Kamruzzaman, was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

Sources said a gang of local goons led by Jalal, Rubel and Sagir, who are allegedly patronised by the local BNP lawmaker, made the attack on the policeman at about 11:00pm. As the gang tried to snatch his gun, a bullet was fired and hit the constable.

A case was filed with the local police station in this connection.
