Trader gunned down in capital
A trader was gunned down by unknown miscreants in the capital's Swamibagh area yesterday afternoon.
Zakir Hossain, 28, a proprietor of Zakir Enterprise, used to live in a flat near his shop with his wife and a daughter.
When Zakir was talking to his customer standing in front of a tailor's shop beside his shop, all of a sudden four-masked youths opened fire on him around 12:10pm, leaving him critically injured, victim's brother, Rasel Haque, told The Daily Star.
Zakir was rushed to a nearby hospital. Later, he was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where doctors pronounced him dead around 2:00pm, said Bacchu Mia, sub-inspector of DMCH police outpost.
Victim's brother said Zakir, son of Enadul Haque, had no enmity with anyone.
Mahbub Alam, inspector (investigation) of Gendaria Police Station, said it might be a planned murder.
The inspector said Zakir had five injury marks on his body.
Police recovered four bullet shells from the spot.
The body was kept at the DMCH mortuary for an autopsy.
