Two killers participate in AL leader Farhad murder

Staff Correspondent: Two killers directly participated in the murder of Awami League (AL) leader Farhad Hossain, 50, in the capital’s Badda, believed investigation officers concerned.

They said the killers also fired at police when they were stopped by cops at a check post.

Police could not arrest someone in the incident till Sunday morning.

Kazi Wazed, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Badda Police Station, said, “Two killers from a CNG-run auto-rickshaw shot Farhad from very close. The auto-rickshaw was stopped by cops at the check post of Badda-Gulshan link road. They also fired at the cops here indiscriminately and fled the scene.”

“They are professional killers. Close Circuit (CC) camera footages were collected to identify them.  No case was filed in this connection by the deceased’s family till Sunday morning. After filing case, official investigation will start,” he added.

The OC, however, could not clear any motive immediately though there might be many reasons behind the killing.

According to locals, Farhad had a long dispute against a rival group in the area over dish business. The incident might be happened over sharing extortion collected from locally run auto-rickshaws and other vehicles. There might have been reasons like business, family feud and personal affairs.

It may be mentioned that miscreants shot Farhad Hossain, general secretary of Badda Union Awami League unit, to death near Baitus Salam mosque on Friday noon, just after Juma prayer.
