Unidentified criminals shot and injured a student of Dhaka College at Nilkhet intersection in the capital early yesterday. The victim, Zulfikar Ali, a master's student of management department, was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital following the incident. Zulfikar told journalists that two youths suddenly appeared on a motorbike and fired two bullets, one of which hit his right leg while he was having tea at a makeshift tea stall near New Market's second gate around 1:00am. He could not recognise the criminals. Zulfikar said he was not sure why the criminals shot him as he has no enmity with anyone. Mostafizur Rahman, officer-in-charge of New Market Police Station, said they heard about the incident but have no detail. No case was filed in this connection.
