Posted by Land Bike Thursday, 27 March 2008

Biker gang gunned down a contractor of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) in the city's Khilgaon yesterday apparently for his refusal to pay toll to extortionists. The victim, Shahadatunnabi Apollo, 40, was the owner of three construction firms.
Witnesses said a gang of three in a motorbike appeared near Apollo at Hajipara in Khilgaon area from behind when he was going to a construction site at Purbachal in Rupganj in a motorcycle at around 6:30am. “One of the gang shot Apollo in the head and he fell to the ground,” Officer-in-Charge of Khilgaon Police Station Sheikh Mohammad Abu Jahid quoted a witness as saying.
Sub-Inspector Abdus Salam, who was on patrol duty in the area, rushed Apollo to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where the doctors declared him dead.
Locals said when the criminals were fleeing the area through an alley their motorbike went out of order. They then ran away leaving the motorcycle on the road.
Police later seized the motorbike.Apollo's brother Anwarunnabi said works on their projects worth around Tk 30 crore are going on.
Family sources said some criminals demanded money from Apollo a few days ago, but he refused to give them money. However, the officer-in-charge of Khilgaon Police Station suspects the murder might have taken place over a business rivalry.
No one was arrested in connection with the murder as of 8:00pm.
