Violent protest at Kachukhet
Local people put up a barricade on the road at Kachukhet in the city's Kafrul area and damaged several vehicles last night in protest against the killing of an oil trader.
Oil trader Nabiruddin, 38, owner of Nirala Tel Ghar at Rajanigandha Super Market at Kachukhet, who was shot on Sunday succumbed to his injuries at the City Hospital at Mohammadpur yesterday morning.
Local people went berserk after his body was brought to the area at about 7:15pm.
Witnesses said the traders of Rajanigandha Super Market as well as local people took to the street and started vandalising vehicles. They also put up a barricade on the road for over one hour.
Armed extortionists shot Nabiruddin as he refused to pay toll to the members of Shahin Shikder group. Anwar Hossain, deputy commissioner of Mirpur zone, told The Daily Star, "The police arrested a killer, Murgi Kawsar, who confessed to his involvement in the murder."
