Outlaw killed by rivals in Kushtia


Outlawed Gono Mukti Fouz (GMF) shot dead a rival belonging to New Bipplobi Communist Party (NBCP) at Durbachara village in Kushtia Sadar upazila Sunday night.

The dead was identified as Milon Hossain, 30, son of Sazzad Malitha of Boroitupi village in the upazila.

On Thursday, GMF cadres gunned down two NBCP cadres at the same village.

According to police, GMF men went to Milon's house Sunday night and picked him up at gunpoint. They took him in front of NBCP leader Lattu at Durbchara village and shot him dead at about midnight.

The outlaws left the body there.

Later, Simul Biswas, central general secretary of GMF, phoned to local journalists and claimed responsibility for the killing, saying Milon 'a traitor'.

Sources said, Milon was involved with GMF. He left the outfit recently and joined NBCP.
