| [Bangla Daily Star] Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arrested four people Thursday night from Savar on charges of the gun attack on Swadhin Bangla Super Market in the city's Mirpur area that left one person dead and eight others injured. The arrestees are Rafiqul Islam Rony, 25, and Monir Hossain Mollah, 27, of Monipuripara, Shahin Khan, 30, and Nazrul Islam, 25, of Shah Ali in city's Mirpur area. Rab-4 sources said on information they intercepted a Dhaka-bound bus of Hanif Paribahan from Satkhira at Savar and arrested them for their alleged involvement in the gun attack. Rab sources said the four accused along with two other hired gunmen killed Abdur Rahim alias Mintu, 32, and injured eight others at the market on July 13. Mintu, a bodyguard of Anwar Hossain Litu, general secretary of the shop owners association of Swadhin Bangla Super Market, died on the spot. A feud over establishing supremacy in the area led to the shooting at the market near Sony Cinema Hall at Mirpur Section-1. |
