Detective Branch Additional Deputy Commissioner Mahfuzur Rahman said Cesare Tavella was shot dead at Road 90, Gulshan-2 at around 7pm on Monday.
Tavella was the project manager of NGO ICCO Cooperation’s Profitable Opportunities for Food Security (PROOFS) programme.
He said the foreigner was walking past the street near the High Commission of Pakistan and Bangladesh Bank governor’s residence wearing t-shirt and three-quarter pants.
Hossain, an area inspector of Integrated Security Services, said he saw two persons walking behind the victim.
“Probably they were following him. Another person stood at one end of the Road 83 parking his motorcycle in front of the German Development Cooperation Building,” he said.
