The victim, identified as Rustam Ali, had served in the prison and retired in November last year.
Superintendent of Kashimpur Jail-1 Subrata Kumar Bala said that the incident occurred around 11am just 200 yards off the main entrance.
Witnesses said 60-year-old Ali was shot while shopping at a pharmacy, barely 200 yards from the jail’s main entrance.
“Three men on a motorcycle pulled off and one of them shot at him before fleeing the scene,” said Swapan Mia, who witnessed the incident from a nearby shop.
Ali was rushed to the Shahid Tajuddin Medical College Hospital, where the doctors declared him dead.
