A rickshaw puller was injured in a shooting incident in Chattogram's Chalitatoli area this afternoon (6 November).
This attack occurred less than 24 hours after listed criminal Sarwar Hossain Babla was shot and killed in the same locality.
The victim, Md Idris Ali (37), was shot by unknown assailants around 1:30pm in Kuayish Chalitatoli area under the Bayezid Police Station, said the hospital's police outpost Sub-Inspector Alauddin Talukder.
He was immediately rushed to Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) and admitted to the casualty ward, where his condition is currently stable, said the SI.
However, Bayezid Police Station Officer-in-Charge Jasim Uddin stated that despite receiving reports and visiting the scene, police found no evidence or suspects at the location of the shooting.
