Two youths were killed in an gunfight in the city’s Badda early Friday. They are suspected killers of Banani businessman Siddique.
The deceased have been identified as Al Amin alias Pichchi Al Amin, and Saddam, said
Shaikh Nazmul Alam, Deputy Commissioner of the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).
They were hired by Helal Uddin, a Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal leader, to kill Siddique Hossen Munshi, the owner of a recruiting agency in the capital’s Banani on November 14, the police official said.
Police arrested Helal, who stands accused in two murder cases including businessman Siddique, from the capital’s Gulshan on Tuesday night, he said.
Acting on a tip-off that Al Amin and Saddam were hiding at Badda, a team of detectives raided there around 4:00am. Sensing presence of the law enforcers, they opened fire that triggered a “gunfight” between them. As a result Al Amin and Saddam were found seriously ill on the spot, the DC said.
The victims were taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) and the doctors declared them dead two hours later, he added.
Badda Police Station Officer in-Charge (OC) Kazi Wajed Ali said that the two young men, aged between 25 and 30, were found seriously injured after a gun battle with DB men at Aftabnagar in South Badda.
The bodies were sent to DMCH morgue for an autopsy, the OC said.
