UP chairman Monir held for firing on crowd
[Bangla Daily Star] Detective Branch (DB) of police yesterday arrested Sultanganj Union Parisad Chairman Monir Hossain on charge of firing gunshots on a crowd in Keraniganj on June 9 that left a man dead and another wounded.
I'm sure he didn't realize the bullets would come down again.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of DB police arrested Monir who is also the president of Kamrangirchar thana unit BNP at a house in the city's Maddhya Badda area around 7:30am and seized his licensed pistol and eleven bullets.

On June 9, some local people encircled Monir Hossain in Lohar Bridge area when he was passing through it by his private car at about 1:45pm. The UP chairman was then locked in an altercation with them and at one stage, he pulled his pistol and sprayed five to six rounds of bullet on them, leaving Mohammad Hasan, 18, dead on the spot and another wounded.

After the firing, Monir fled the scene by his private car. In reprisal, agitating people attacked the residence of the chairman and set fire to his garage and damaged his private car. They also torched an umbrella factory, owned by a brother of Monir, at Nurbag.

Monir at DB office told the reporters that he did not kill the man as he sprayed bullets on them only for dispersing them.

Who cares ver zey come down?
Dat's not my department," says Werner von Braun
