Detectives have got enough evidence that rickshaw-puller Abdul Hakim and Janakanthas auto-rickshaw driver Yakub were killed being hit by bullets fired from the pistol of Bakhtiar Alam Rony, son of Awami League MP Pinu Khan, Joint Commissioner (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Monirul Islam said yesterday, reports UNB.
The case has already been detected as we have enough evidence, said Monirul Islam while briefing reporters at DMP Media centre.
During interrogation, Rony revealed that the two people were killed being hit by bullets fired from his pistol but repeatedly denied while making statement before a magistrate, Monir said.
Earlier, Ronys two friends and his car driver made confessional statements before the magistrates stating that Rony sprayed bullets from his pistol indiscriminately, he said.
Rony has been put on remand for the fourth times and he is being interrogated under remand for the 14th consecutive day today (Wednesday), he added.
If Rony wants to make his confessional statement before a magistrate he will be taken to Dhaka CMM Court, said the Joint Commissioner (DB).
On April 13, Rony, said to be a drug addict, allegedly opened fire on people indiscriminately near Janakantha Bhaban in New Eskaton area from his car, leaving two people -- rickshaw-puller Abdul Hakim and Janakanthas auto-rickshaw driver Yakub --injured with bullets.
Hakim succumbed to his injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on April 15 while Yakub died at the hospital on April 23.
On April 15, a case was filed with Ramna Police Station against unidentified people in this connection.
