Police have arrested a man – identified as a Jubo League activist – for firing 28 rounds of bullets indiscriminately in faculty students for the length of the anti-discrimination movement in Chattogram on 4 August.
The gunman, Touhidul Islam, was once arrested on Friday (22 November) in a police operation in the Kamalnagar bother of Satkhira Sadar.
Deputy Commissioner (crime and operations) Mohammad Rois Uddin confirmed the subject at a press briefing at Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) media centre at the recent time (23 November).
Touhidul, also identified as Hari Touhid or Farid, was once previously considered brandishing weapons and firing for the length of the anti-discrimination protests in the Chandgaon and Bahaddarhat areas of the town.
On the choice hand, police could doubtless well no longer formally check Touhidul’s political affiliations.
Replying to a quiz, Rois Uddin said, “We could doubtless well no longer come by Touhidul’s political affiliation. He’s a legit criminal and mugger with cases of extinguish, weapons exercise, and extortion filed in opposition to him.”
The legit said Touhidul is accused in 12 cases across a lot of police stations under CMP, at the side of 5 over extinguish charges and others over violence, extortion, capsules, and theft.
“Touhidul has admitted to firing on protesters on 4 August in Chandgaon, utilizing a ‘Pakistani shooter gun’. Our operations to enhance the weapon and extra ammunition are ongoing,” he said.
