A man named Md. Ashik, 23, was arrested with a firearm in connection with the shooting of his 70-year-old grandfather, Nazrul Islam, in Chandraganj, Lakshmipur. The incident occurred on July 4 during a family arbitration meeting that escalated into an argument. RAB-11 confirmed the arrest and recovery of the weapon, stating that Ashik was detained in Dhaka’s Jatrabari area on Monday night and later taken to his village home, where the firearm was found.

According to case and local sources, Ashik’s parents, Faruk and Ayesha Begum, had ongoing family disputes. During a meeting on July 3 to resolve the issue, Ayesha became angry after a heated exchange with Nazrul and informed her son Ashik over the phone. Ashik returned home and allegedly shot Nazrul the next day, injuring his left wrist. Nazrul later filed a case with Chandraganj Police Station on July 6.

RAB officials said Ashik had been on the run since the incident. After his arrest, he was handed over to Chandraganj police for further legal action.
