A youth was shot dead by miscreants at Mahakhali in squeal of enmity while an elderly man died after being beaten by his neighbours at Adabar in the capital on Tuesday.
Bashir Mina, 35, who used to collect money by providing water and electric connection in slums, was allegedly shot by one Dipu at Wireless Gate in the area following a long standing enmity over establishing supremacy.
