A 28-year-old alleged criminal suffered bullet injuries as miscreants opened fire on him in the Panchlaish area of Chattogram city on Monday.
The victim was identified as Imtiaz Sultan Ikram alias Sultan Ikram, a listed criminal and known as an associate of top criminal “Baro Sazzad”.
He was wanted in six criminal cases. Special Response Battalion-7 arrested him on February 17, 2026 but he was later released on bail.
Mozammel Haque, officer-in-charge of Panchlaish Police Station, said five people riding two motorcycles arrived at the east side of Forest Gate, behind the Chattogram Education Board, around noon and opened fire on Imtiaz before fleeing the scene.
Later, he was taken to Chattogram Medical College Hospital.
Imtiaz’s wife Suchi alleged that the associates of Baro Sazzad might have carried out the attack on her husband.
