College Student Murder: Accused killed in 'gunfight' with police
A key accused in a college student abduction case was killed in a “gunfight” with police in Shibpur village of Kushtia Sadar early today.
Enamul Haq, 33, was accused of abducting and killing college student Sagar Saha.
Sagar, 19, son of Pradeep Saha, was abducted on Wednesday. Police recovered his body in an abandoned toilet at Harinarayanpur village on Saturday.
Ratan Seikh, officer-in-charge of Islamic University Police Station, said they arrested Enamul on Saturday.
In primary interrogation, Enamul told police that his partner in the crime was a villager named Shipon Ali.
According to the OC, police teams taking Enamul with them, went to Shibpur village to hunt for Shipon.
“On the way, the police teams were attacked near a banana orchard. They shot at police to snatch Enamul. A gunfight ensued. Enamul, handcuffed, was shot dead when he tried to escape from the police van,” Ratan claimed.
Police found two crude bombs and locally made gun from the scene.
The OC claimed that a gang led by Enamul and Shipon abducted Sagar when he was going home around 8:30pm on Wednesday.
Sagar's father Pradeep filed a case with the police station Thursday evening. Pradeep feared that the abductors might kill his son if prompt actions were not taken.
