Cops picked up another guy connected to that shooting of the Inqilab Moncho spokesperson, Sharif Osman Hadi. The arrest went down at a residential hotel in the Adabor area of Dhaka. This guy is a 32-year-old named Himon Rahman Shikder. The police say he is tight with Alamgir, the motorcycle rider who transported the actual shooter, Faisal Karim Masud. Authorities also grabbed a gun during the bust.
A Deputy Commissioner with the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Mohammad Talebur Rahman, gave those details. The local station chief from Adabor, an officer named Md Ziaur Rahman, told reporters that this Himon character was involved with the Jubo League. That is the youth organization linked to the Awami League, which is currently banned. The arrest happened after police got a tip. Himon then gave up some info that led them to a house in the Baitul Aman Housing area, also in Adabor.
From that location, officers recovered a foreign-made pistol. They also found three live rounds, some firecrackers, materials for making crude bombs, and a quantity of gunpowder. The house supposedly belongs to a friend of Himon named Mehedi. Cops are now actively looking for this Mehedi guy to bring him in as well.
