An incident of gunfire occurred at a business establishment in the Badda area of Dhaka after extortion demands were allegedly refused.
The premises are located next to the election office of Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP). Kazi Md Nasirul Amin, officer-in-charge of Badda Police Station, confirmed the matter on Wednesday.
He said on Tuesday night, two rounds were fired after extortion money was not paid. “We are working to arrest those responsible.”
Mahbub Alam, head of the NCP’s Election Media Sub-Committee, told Dhaka Tribune that the shooting took place next to the NCP’s organizational office in Ward-38, Badda. He clarified that the premises were not the office of Nahid Islam and said there was no political involvement in the incident.
