Imtiaz Sultan Ikram (28) was shot by miscreants on Monday afternoon near the Forest Gate on the east side of the Chattogram Education Board in the port city's Panchlaish area. Five armed assailants arriving on two motorcycles carried out the attack and fled. He was rescued and admitted to the Chattogram Medical College Hospital, where doctors stated he is currently out of danger.
Witnesses reported that to save his life during the attack, Imtiaz took refuge in a second-floor apartment of a nearby four-story building. The gunmen followed him there and fired about 25 to 26 rounds before fleeing. Following the incident, police and locals visited the spot, and police stated that the armed attackers have yet to be identified.
The wife of the injured youth alleged that followers of top terrorist Sajjad Ali, known as Boroj Sajjad, attacked her husband with the intent to kill him. She claimed they had been receiving death threats for a long time as a consequence of handing over Choto Sajjad. Meanwhile, police records show that cases related to the anti-discrimination movement and the Arms Act are pending against Imtiaz.
