KOLKATA: A person, identified as Sheik Imtiaz (43), was shot dead in
Howrah’s
Uluberia on Tuesday evening by unknown assailants. The accused, who pumped 9 bullets into Imtiaz’s body, had their faces covered with helmets.
Imtiaz, who was accused in a double murder case and was out on bail, was returning home on his bike with his wife
when the bike-borne assailants stopped them near a place called
Gangarampur and shot him.
Imtiaz was sent to jail in the latter part of 2017 after he was accused of murdering Sheikh
Lal Chand and Shiekh Munsif, both brothers. The duo had resisted anti-social activities in Howrah’s Bhatura.
