Police super's wife shot dead

The wife of police superintendent Babul Akhtar was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Chittagong's OR Nizam Road area on Sunday morning.

Three assailants came in a motorcycle and then stabbed and shot Mahmuda Khanam Mitu, 40, a mother of two, near their residence when she went out to drop her son for the school bus in the morning, Panchlaish police officer-in-charge Mohiuddin Mahmud said quoting witnesses.
Police suspect she might have been killed due to Babul Akter’s stern stance against the terrorists.
The body was sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital morgue.
Babul Akhtar was working as an additional deputy commissioner of Detective Branch (DB) in Chittagong before being recently promoted to the rank of Superintendent of Police (SP). He was at the headquarters since he was yet to get any deployment.
