District detective (DB) police have detained two more men for questioning in the killing of Chhatra Dal leader Shakil Islam, who was attacked by assailants in Gurudaspur, Natore. The two detainees are Alamin (26) and Anisur (25).
They were detained on Thursday (29 October) during raids at various places in the Dharabarisha area of the upazila.
Earlier in the same case, a DB police team had detained Mintu, the elder son of Baraigram MP Abdul Aziz, from his home.
Shakil was attacked on 14 October at around 10:30 pm in the Chachkoir Bazarpara area of the upazila. According to local sources, two youths wearing helmets and masks arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire on him. He tried to run for his life, but the assailants chased and caught him. They then hacked him indiscriminately with a chapati and a Chinese axe before fleeing, leaving serious injuries to his arms and other parts of his body.
Local people rescued him and took him first to the Gurudaspur Upazila Health Complex. After initial treatment, he was sent in critical condition to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. He was later taken to Dhaka for better treatment, where he died on the night of 26 October while undergoing treatment.
The deceased Shakil was the son of Rabiul Karim Mistri of the Kacharipara area of Gurudaspur municipal town.
Md Nazrul Islam, officer-in-charge of the Natore district DB police, said Alamin and Anisur had been detained for questioning in connection with the killing of Chhatra Dal leader Shakil.
