Denial to Give Free Food
Shopkeeper assaulted
Miscreants injured a shopkeeper and a schoolboy and assaulted several others in the city’s Kadamtali area yesterday as the shopkeeper refused to give them food for free on Monday.
The miscreants created a dreadful situation by exploding at least ten cocktails.
Shopkeeper Mohammad Sumon, 25, received injuries on his head as the criminals hit him with a pistol while schoolboy Mohammad Kawser, 17, was stabbed with a sharp weapon. They were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) with severe wounds.
Locals at Pokarbazar of Muradnagar said local rogue Jasim and his accomplices attacked as Sumon refused to give some packets of ‘Tehari’ free of cost.
“Jasim along with his cohorts Razib, Himu, Babu and 15 to 20 others swooped on Sumon with weapons around 1:00pm and injured him critically,” said Mohammad Mishu, a student of Muradpur Samirunnessa High School, also beaten up by the gang.
As pedestrians protested the attackers, the men stabbed Kawser and assaulted other pedestrians, said locals.
Officer-in-Charge Syed Ayub Ali of Kadamtali Police Station said they heard two men were injured in a clash but were not aware of the cocktail blasts.
