Detectives in Dhaka have found evidence linking Joseph, brother of former army chief Aziz Ahmed, to the killing of top gangster Naeem Ahmed Titon. Police believe Joseph orchestrated the murder out of longstanding enmity. The attack took place on Tuesday night near Shahnewaz Hostel in the New Market area, where Titon was shot dead. His brother later filed a murder case against eight to nine unidentified suspects.

According to investigators, Joseph, currently in Sweden, allegedly financed the killing mission from abroad. Titon, once a leading member of the Five Star group in the 1990s, had rivalries with the Seven Star group, which Joseph was associated with. Police suspect the murder was an act of revenge following Titon’s release from prison. Another gangster, Pichchi Helal, denied involvement in an audio message, claiming Titon’s brother-in-law Iman was responsible.

Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police said the killers have not yet been identified or arrested. CCTV footage from the area has been collected, and efforts are ongoing to track down those involved.
