City Swechchhasebak League leader shot
Armed extortionists shot and injured a local Awami Swechchhasebak League leader at Sutrapur in the capital yesterday morning after he refused to pay the money they have been demanding for the last three months.
Locals rushed Sharifur Rahman Sharif, 47, president of ward no-82 of Awami Swechhasebak League, to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) following the incident.
His condition is critical as he sustained bullet injuries on several places including, his chest, back, arm and ear, hospital sources said.
Police said four criminals waylaid Sharif's rickshaw around 8:00am at Patla Khan Lane while he was returning to his home on KB Road at Gandaria after dropping his daughter at school.
The criminals fired shots at him haphazardly and left the place in a hurry.
Three months ago, some local goons barged into Family Maath, a Chinese restaurant owned by Sharif and fired blank shots to create panic, Sharif's sister Sitara Islam told The Daily Star.
