| [Bangla Daily Star] Three people including an assistant sub-inspector of Ramna Police Station were killed by unidentified assailants in three separate incidents yesterday. The identity of the two other victims could not be known immediately. Mirzapur police recovered the body of Assistant Sub-inspector (ASI) Shah Mizanur Rahman, 35, of Nayatola Outpost under Ramna Police Station at about 7:30am from near Dhaka-Tangail Highway, some 50 kilometers off his working place, said our Tangail correspondent. Police said the body was sent to Tangail General Hospital for autopsy. In a span of 14 days two Dhaka Metropolitan Police officials were killed. On April 20, sub-inspector Gautam Roy, also the second officer of Bangshal Police Station, was gunned down at Dholaikhal on way to his residence from the police station. Constable Mohammad Suruzzaman of Nayatola Outpost said ASI Mizanur returned to the outpost from his foot patrol duty around 4:15am. He went to the washroom and then left around 4:45am leaving his uniform, service arms and walkie-talkie. Sub-inspector Enamul Haque, also the in-charge of the outpost, said Mizanur along with two constables -- Zahir and Lal Mian -- went out for foot patrol duty at 10:00pm on Monday and returned to the outpost around 4:15am. Yesterday around 10:00am a DMP official informed him that Mizanur's body was found at Charpara of Mirzapur in Tangail. Constable Zahir who accompanied Mizanur said they were on duty on the DIT Road, Malibagh Rail Gate, Mirbagh, Madhubagh and surrounding areas on Monday night. When they reached in front of Abul Hotel at Malibagh around 4:00am, Mizanur told them that he would have to respond to the call of nature and he immediately left for the out post, he added. Deputy Commissioner Krishna Pada Roy of Ramna Zone of DMP said they had formed a one-member investigating committee with Assistant Commissioner Mona Lisa of Ramna Model Police station. The committee was asked to submit its report as early as possible. ASI Mizanur had a baby girl just seven days back. He comes from Mirujpur village of Madhupur in Tangail. He lived at his Nakhalpara house in the capital. Meanwhile Adabar police recovered the body of an unidentified man from inside a plastic drum from in front of an inter-district bus counter of AK Travels in Shyamoli area in the city. The victim appeared to be 50 years old and was wearing white shirt and a pair of black pants. The body was sent to Dhaka Medical College morgue for autopsy. DMCH morgue sources said the man was strangled. Shimul Sarder, a peon of AK Travels, said that he spotted a blue coloured plastic drum capped with steel plate around 10pm Monday on one side of the counter. As passengers left the counter at 12 o' clock at night and the drum was still there one of the employees of the bus counter opened it around 12:30am and found the body. They informed the police of the matter immediately. Adabar Police Station Sub-inspector Sagir Uddin said counter manager Ibrahim filed a murder case with the police station yesterday. Counter sources said as no bus entered the counter after 10pm Monday it was believed that the drum was not unloaded from any bus. Someone might have left it there. In another incident police rescued a wounded man aged about 22 years from Uttar Shahjahanpur at 5:00am yesterday. Police took him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where he died at 7:00am. The victim was wearing a pair of khaki pants. Motijheel Police Station Officer-in-charge (OC) Tofazzal Hossain quoting local people said unidentified miscreants brought the body by a rickshaw and quickly fled the scene after dumping him there. The OC suspects that the victim might have been a security guard or a member of community police. Miscreants might have killed him in a bid to destroy evidence of their crime, he said. A post mortem on the body was carried out at DMCH morgue. Morgue sources said the youth was beaten to death. |
