On the night of 18 September night, a group of miscreants fired indiscriminately at a car of top criminal Tariq Saeed Mamun in Bangladesh Government Press area in the capital's Tejgaon.
At that time, Bhuban was shot in the head while returning to his home on a motorcycle. Later he was admitted to Dhanmondi Popular in the capital.
Briefing reporters on Tuesday (19 September), Additional Commissioner of Police (DB) Harun Or Rashid said top criminal Mamun – whose car came under attack – is a convict in a case filed over the murder of actor Sohel Chowdhury. He was recently released on bail after serving 20 years in jail.
"While in prison, another top criminal named Sanzidul Islam Emon had a dispute with Mamun. No one was arrested and a case was under process to be filed. They both appeared before the court on 12 September where Emon threatened Mamun. We believe Emon's men organised the attack," he added.
