Satkhira cop killed by ‘bullet from own gun’
A policeman was killed by a bullet “accidentally fired from his own gun” near Koikhali Forest Camp in the Sundarbans of Satkhira yesterday.
Deceased Miaraz Hossain, 32, was a constable of the river police camp. He hailed from Rajshahi district.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and river police conducted a drive at Bashukhali canal in the Sundarbans and rescued four fishermen abducted by forest robbers yesterday afternoon, said Mantu Kumar Das, in-charge of Rainagar River police camp.
Later, the rescued fishermen were handed over to Koikhali forest camp.
After the drive, all the river policemen boarded a trawler to return to their camp, he said.
“At one stage, Miaraz received a bullet accidentally fired from his own gun in the trawler and died on the spot”, said Mantu.
