Criminals gunned down a jhut (garment wastage) trader who was also a local Awami League leader in the capital's Kathalbagan area yesterday afternoon.
The deceased was identified as Rokon Uddin Babu, 46, an executive member of Dhaka City Corporation ward-60 unit of Awami League.
Witnesses said two unknown youths fired five bullets at Babu when he was having tea with his associate at a stall around 1:45pm after the Juma prayers. The criminals fled the scene right away, they added.
Doctors declared Babu dead when he was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Deceased's son Fakrul Alam Shajib said besides a jhut businessman in Panthapath area, his father was a contractor and he had no enemy that they know of.
Officer-in-Charge Shahin Mandal of Kalabagan Police Station said rivalry in the jhut business might be the cause behind the killing. Deceased Babu was accused in an arms case, he added.
