| 2009-08-28 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] Criminals made a gun attack at a local club in Sadar upazila of Rajbari district last night that killed three people, including two Awami League (AL) leaders, and critically wounded two others. The deceased were identified as general secretary of Barat union unit AL Abdus Salam Mollah, 42, its vice president Golam Mohammad and 'chowkidar' of Barat Union Parishad Saidur Rahman, 30. Two injured--UP Secretary Ferdous Hossain and truck driver Anis Uddin--were undergoing treatment at Rajbari Sadar Hospital. Police said a gang of about six criminals swooped on the Barat Youth Club around 8.30pm and sprayed bullets on them when the party leaders were talking to its workers and other people. Salam, Golam and Saidur were rushed to the hospital where the attending doctors declared them dead on arrival at about 9:30pm. Police suspected that cadres of an outlawed party might have carried out the gun attack. Sources close to police and others said AL leader Salam was also involved in the activities of the outlawed party in Rajbari. Police also suspected that rivals of Salam might have launched the attack to take revenge. Salam who had been absconding for long came to the area after AL took over power this year. He was wanted in several cases filed with Sadar and Pangsha police stations, police said. Police and Rab men cordoned off the vast stretch of the areas to look for the criminals while high police officials visited the spot. |
