Unidentified criminals gunned down a contractor in the city’s Khilgaon area yesterday. The deceased was identified as Harun Gazi, 40, son of Wajed Gazi of East Rampura.
Police said a gang of five to seven around 2:30pm shot him when he was supervising a construction site at Nabinbagh Balur Math of Meradia, leaving him seriously injured. Workers of the site rushed him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where the on-duty doctors declared him dead, police said.
Officer-in-Charge of Khilgaon Police Station Sayed Nazrul Islam told The Daily Star that Harun also worked as a police informer, which might lead to the killing.
Mohammad Zafar, brother-in-law of Harun said he had no enmity with any one in the area but an unidentified gang was demanding extortion from Harun for the last few days.
