The victim, Abdus Sattar, 32, was a Sub Inspector of Badda Police Station under the Dhaka Metropolitan Police. Another one was his second wife Shompa, 28.
On information from the locals, members of Rupnagar Police Station rescued the duo with fatal bullet wounds yesterday evening and sent them to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) in a critical condition where the doctors declared them dead at 9:00pm.
Officer-in-Charge of Rupnagar Police Station said the incident took place in a six-storey flat at house no: 32, road no: 22 of Rupnagar Residential Area.
“We primarily assume that the SI Sattar shot his wife at first and then shot himself from point blank range,” the OC said.
Deputy Commissioner of DMP [Mirpur Zone] Masudur Rahman told The New Nation last night that they were viewing it as an incident of suicide.
“We’re not yet confirm whether it is an incident of suicide or homicide. But the circumstantial evidences pointing that it might be suicide,” the DC said.
Sources said, SI Abdus Sattar got married with Shompa, a cousin sister of his first wife, one year back. Sattar and his first wife have two sons-one is 10 years and another 6 years old.
