Imtiaj Shafiq Sourav, 18, who sat this year's HSC examinations from Rajuk Model School, went out of his house in the evening, said his mother Meherunnessa. A rickshawpuller brought bullet-hit Sourav in front of Mascot Plaza at around 8:30pm and locals took him to his house at sector-9.

Family members rushed him to a local clinic and later shifted him to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), where doctors declared him dead at about 9:20pm.

Sourav's father Shafiqul Alam could not say the reason why his son was killed.

Meanwhile, police recovered the body of autorickshaw driver Alamgir Sheikh, 35, dumped in a sack at Balughat last night.
