A 35-year-old man was killed and his wife and daughter injured in a gun attack by miscreants in Bagha upazila of Rajshahi last night.

The deceased was identified as Sohel Rana of Palashi Fatepur Karali Naoshara Char area under Chakrajapur union.

According to a neighbour, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the attackers created panic by repeatedly striking the tin walls of Sohel Rana's house around 1:00am, producing loud noises that woke nearby residents.

As locals came out of their homes, the armed assailants reportedly threatened to shoot anyone who approached the house. They then cut through the tin wall, entered the house and opened fire.

One bullet hit Sohel Rana in the abdomen, while his wife and daughter were also injured in the gunfire, locals said.

The victims were rushed to Bagha Upazila Health Complex, where the on-duty doctor declared Sohel Rana dead. His wife and daughter were admitted to the health complex and are undergoing treatment.

Bagha Police Station Inspector (Investigation) Suprabhat Mondol said police initially suspect the killing was a planned attack linked to a previous murder case.

"The body has been recovered and sent to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy," he said, adding that legal action would be taken following the investigation.
