On information, Sutrapur police found the body of Bellal Hossain, 36, in the north of Dhupkhola field at 7:30am. The body bore marks of seven gunshots, said the primary inquest report.

Police sent the body to Mitford Hospital morgue for autopsy.

Victim's wife Kamrunnessa identified the body at the morgue.

Bellal went out with one of his friend Ibrahim on Sunday morning and did not return since then, she said in the first information report (FIR) that she filed with Sutrapur Police Station.

In Mirpur, a gang of seven called Ruhul Amin, 35, a police informant and shop-owner at Kalyanpur Bazar, out of his shop and took him behind the bazar at 8:30am.

The gang, led by one local goon Ripon, shot him twice in the head and fled the scene.

Ruhul was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where he was undergoing treatment.

His wife Nur Jahan Begum told newsmen at DMCH that since Ruhul worked as a police informant, he developed rivalry with many goons in the locality.

Ripon threatened her husband to kill a week ago as Ruhul helped police arrest some of his men, she added.
