Mohim Uddin, who was shot by the liberation war affairs minister AKM Mozammel Haque’s gunman, died on Thursday midnight.
He succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at Enam Medical College Hospital in Savar.
On Apr 16, Md Shahid, 30, the minister’s gunman Kishore Kumar, son of Narayan Kumar, of village Kutubdia at Kaliakoir upazila in Gazipur, shot on his friends - Md Shahid, 30, son of Sabur Uddin and Mohim, 32, son of Abdul Malek, of village Ajgana of the same upazila. Shahid died on the spot and Mohim was critically injured.
On April 17, Shahid’s wife filed a case against Kishore and police arrested him from Shimultoli area in Ashulia and took him into their custody for interrogation.
Police believe an ‘extramarital affair’ between Kishore’s wife and Mohim led to the murder.
Kishore often engaged in quarrels with his wife over her suspected affair with Mohim, said Kaliakoir Police Station chief Alamgir Hossain Majumdar.
On the day of the incident, Kishore called Mohim out to a chat outdoors. Mohim and his friend Shahid were waiting in an open space for Kishore to arrive. Kishore arrived on the scene and opened fire on them. Shahid died on the spot and Mohim was critically injured and admitted to Enam Medical Hospital.
