Mamun Mia, a key suspect in the murder of an assistant sub-inspector in Brahmanbaria, has died in a ‘shootout’ with the Rapid Action Battalion.
The shootout took place at Chandpur Bazar in Machhihata of Sadar Upazila on Sunday, said Chandan Debnath, assistant director of RAB-14 Bhairab Camp.
ASI Amir Hossain of Sadar Police Station was stabbed to death near Chandpur Bridge while he was chasing a crime suspect on Friday, bdnews24.com reports.
The incident also left ASI Moni Shankar injured. Police filed a case naming five people.
Mamun Mia, son of Musa Mia from Chandpur village, was named as the key suspect.
“A team of RAB raided Chandpur Bazar overnight in a bid to nab Mamun. His gang opened fire after the RAB team appeared on the scene. RAB retaliated in self-defence and Mamun was injured,” Chandan said.
Doctors pronounced Mamun dead on arrival at the Brahmanbaria Central Hospital, he said. RAB recovered a pistol, four bullets and a sharp weapon from the scene. The raid also left two RAB members injured.
