Two leaders of the ruling Awami League’s affiliates have been shot dead in Lakshmipur.
They are Abdullah Al Noman, a former general secretary of Lakshmipur district Jubo League, and Rakib Hossain, a former organising secretary of the district unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League.
Jubo League and Chhatra League are the ruling party’s youth and student wings, respectively.
The incident occurred in the Padmer Bazaar area of the town around 9pm on Tuesday, said Superintendent of Police Mahfuzzaman.
Noman was declared dead when he was brought to the Sadar Hospital at 10:40pm, while Rakib was in critical condition, said Anwar Hossain, a resident medical officer of the hospital.
Rakib was sent to Dhaka after he received initial medical treatment at the hospital, but he died on the way, the doctor said.
Both had gunshot wounds to the head and face, he said.
Mahfuzur Rahman, the chairman of Bashikpur Union Parishad, blamed a former chairman of the union council for the attack.
