Shil, a 55-year-old lawyer, was passing through the Tejgaon Industrial area on a motorcycle on Monday night when criminals ambushed a suspect in the film actor Sohel Chowdhury murder case.
While the suspect survived, Shil, with a bullet in his head, had to fight for his life at the intensive care unit of Popular Medical College Hospital for a week.
Today, doctors declared him dead around 12 noon.
