Awami Juba League activist Rizvi Hasan Babu was the victim of rival political feud over establishing supremacy in the city’s Motijheel area, locals said.
Babu succumbed to his injuries in a city’s private hospital on Saturday. He received several bullet rounds allegedly by some rival activists at the Juba League office at AGB
Colony on Friday night, they said. Deceased Babu and injured Emon were reportedly known to be followers of Juba League Ward-10 unit President Maruf Reza Sagar.
Sagar blamed Milon and local Swechchasebak League leader Anwarul Azim Tushar for carrying out the attack.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Tarek Bin Rashid said that the deceased Babu was named in at least five cases relating to murder, attack on police and possession of illegal arms.
“Police had been searching him for a long time as he was absconding to avoid the arrest,” the police official said.
He said Sagar and Milon also have a number of cases listed against them with the police.
The two factions had also filed cases against each other over the clashes that took place several days before Eid-ul-Azha, the ADC said.
“The latest incident was political but could not identify those who carried out the killing. No case has been filed over the attack until Sunday evening,” he said.
The murder was preplanned and that it took place over a political feud, said Golam Rabbani, Inspector (Investigation) of Motijheel Police Station.
“We are trying to arrest the attackers,” he said.
President of Ward 10 Dhaka city (south) unit Jubo League Maruf Reza Sagar alleged that Anwar Hossain Milon, Anwarul Azim Tushar, Hirok and some others led the attack over previous enmity.
Milon is the general secretary of the newly-announced ward committee while Tushar is a Swechchasebok League leader.
Sagar claims himself the nephew of former Jubo League leader Reazul Hasan Khan Milki, who was shot dead in Gulshan by a rival group on July 29, 2013, also to establish supremacy in the area.
He claimed that Milon and his associates were freed recently on bail in a case filed with Motijheel police for vandalising their party office few days back. The party office was previously used by Milki.
Milon blamed Sagar for carrying out the attack on Babu and Emon. “The attack was made so that Sagar does not need to face a political competitor in the area. He has been patronising criminals since the death of Milki,” Milon alleged.
Tushar also refuted the allegation and claimed that Sagar had long been trying to spoil the political environment.
Milon also said that the attack was part of a plan to drive him and his supporters out of the neighbourhood.
Some miscreants attacked Rizvi Hasan Babu, 34, locally known as Bocha Babu, and Ahsanul Haque Emon, 32, at a club room inside the colony around 11:20pm on Friday leaving them critically injured.
