The complainant of a murder case was gunned down at Askona in Dakhhinkhan area on the city's outskirts yesterday.

Family sources alleged Israfil, 35, was killed by those who had killed his younger brother so that he couldn't tell the trial court the tale of his brother's murder.

His younger brother, Abdur Rauf alias Abu, was killed in 2003 and he was the plaintiff in the case.

Police said some miscreants intercepted Israfil at Askona while he was going to his business-house 'Prime Cable Network and VCD Center' at about 10:30am and fired into the victim's head and chest.

"Fatally wounded in the daylight shootings, he was rushed to a local clinic. As his condition deteriorated, he was shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him dead," says a spot account of the murder.

A case was filed with Dakhhinkhan police station.
