Five people, including an event-management cameraman, were shot by unidentified assailants while travelling to film a wedding turmeric ceremony in Gazitola, Moushakpur village of Alaiyapur union, Begumganj, Noakhali. The shooting occurred around 11:30pm on Monday. One injured person was sent to Dhaka for advanced treatment after being admitted with the others to the 250-bed Noakhali General Hospital.
The injured were identified as Nazrul Islam Shanto, Maruf Ahmed, Jasim Uddin, Sakib Hossain and Bablu. Shanto said their group, including women, was travelling on three motorcycles and two CNG-run auto-rickshaws when gunfire was directed at their motorcycles from behind. He said five people suffered gunshot wounds to the head, hands and back after falling onto the road.
Shanto claimed he recognised local men Harun and Picchi Riad among the attackers, and alleged that Riad threatened to shoot him. Local sources said the incident stemmed from a prior dispute between Harun and Raihan, with the group reportedly mistaken for Raihan’s associates. Police said three motorcycle riders suffered pellet-gun injuries and that officers would investigate and take legal action.
