| 2009-10-24 | |
An Interpol wanted criminal was found shot dead at Siddhirganj in the district yesterday. The deceased, Ashiqur Rahman Shikder alias Tofazzal Hossain Shikder, 45, was the vice-president of Narayanganj district Jubo League.
According to a police source, International Police Organisation (Interpol) issued a "red warrant" against Tofazzal and his brother Golam Rasul Shikder on March 12, 2007. "The warrant was on the Interpol website till the time he was slain," the source said. He was wanted in 20 cases, including two sensational double-murder cases. Witnesses said two bullets holed into his forehead and an eye. The body was sent to morgue for autopsy. Family members, however, claimed that RAB members arrested Tofazzal from a residential hotel in Tantibazar area of Dhaka on Wednesday and he might have been killed in "crossfire". | |

| #1 So do we fill in the blanks to the story now or wait for the 'official' Crossfire report to be published? |
