A student of Habibullah Bahar College was wounded as the police shot at him 'from a short distance during a gunfight' at a check point set up near the Rajarbagh police lines in Dhaka on Monday night.
The injured Tanvir Islam Sajib, 23, was admitted to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic, Rehabilitation. He was hit with three bullets in the legs, the family said.
The police shot at him as he tried to get away after the police found him in possession of a weapon at the check point about 10:30pm.
Tanvir said that he along with Shakil and Nur Mohammad Ronnie were riding a motorbike and the police stopped them and found the weapon from them.
The victim said that the police had captured him and shot him from a short distance.
Ronnie was arrested by the Motijheel police when he was getting away. Shakil escaped.
Tanvir's mother Sufia Begum said that his son had been kept for hours without treatment after his arrest.
The Paltan police, however, brushed aside the allegation of keeping him without treatment and said that Tanvir had been sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital after 'the gunfight.'
No policeman, however, was injured, the police said.
The investigation officer of the case, Paltan police subinspector Mohammad Jasimuddin, said that Tanvir had become wounded when the police and group traded fire at the check point.
