A rising businessman and son of former Jatiya Party (JP) lawmaker Karim Uddin Bharasa was shot dead in the city Monday, reports UNB.
Police said Khairul Islam Bharasa alias Kajal (30) was gunned down allegedly by his elder brother inside his office in the city's Bijoynagar area in the afternoon.
Kajal was the Managing Director of New Age Tobacco and younger son of Karim Uddin Bharasa, who rose from rags to riches through building his business empire and became MP of the last parliament.
Police quoting witnesses said Kajal had an altercation with his elder brother Kabirul Islam Bharasa alias Kabir inside the office of 'New Age Tobacco' located on the 7th floor of a multi-storey building at 40 Bijoynagar over a business feud at about 2:55pm.
