Swechchhasebak Dal leader shot dead in N’ganj
A Swechch-hasebak Dal leader was shot dead in front of his business establish-ment at Fatullah in Narayanganj early morning yesterday.
The victim, Mamun Hossain, 40, was the son of late Saman Ali and a joint convener of the Fatullah unit of BNP's volunteer wing.

Mamun's elder brother Amjad Hossain said someone called Mamun out just after he had returned home and gone to sleep late on Thursday night. The family did not know who the caller was.
"Azad, a worker who sleeps inside Mamun's business establishment, heard the gunshots and came out to find Mamun lying motionless in a pool of blood," the brother said.
Mamun was rushed to Narayanganj 300-bed hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
The family suspects that a long-standing business dispute with the family of a local Awami League leader could be a possible motive behind the murder.
OC Shariful said the exact reason behind the murder was still unknown. "However, we have spotted two individuals in hoodies in CCTV footage, and efforts are underway to identify them."
A murder case was expected to be filed in connection with the incident, he added.
