Police will move for the cancellation of Awami League lawmaker Pinu Khan's son Bakhtiar Alam Rony's arms licence if ballistic report suggests that the shot was fired from his firearm in the double murder case.
DB Joint Commissioner Monirul Islam made the statement while talking to the journalists at the DMP head quarters in the capital on Wednesday morning.
He said: “In the primary interrogation we have found out that the bullet was fired from Rony's gun and if the same thing is proved in the ballistic report then we will request for the cancellation of his arms licence.”
Earlier, a Dhaka court rejected the bail petition of Rony and sent him to jail in the case filed over killing two people on Dhaka street.
On April 13, Yakub Sikder, driver of a CNG-run auto-rickshaw of the daily Janakantha, and Abdul Halim, a rickshaw-puller, received bullet injuries when Rony fired at people indiscriminately in Dilu Road on that night.
Halim died on April 15 while Yakub succumbed to his injuries on April 23 while undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Halim’s mother Monowara Begum filed the case with Ramna police station on April 15. It was then shifted to the Detective Branch of police on May 24.
Detectives arrested Rony from his Elephant Road residence on May 31. On June 1, a Dhaka court granted the DB police four days to interrogate Rony. After he pretended to be sick, interrogation finally began on June 9.
