Gunfight over tender submission at Bidyut Bhaban
2015-03-11
[Dhaka Tribune] Rival groups opened fire and blasted several crude bombs over submission of tender documents at Bidyut Bhaban in the capital's Shahbagh yesterday. A youth was hurt in the clash.
Like the Mafia, they're willing to kill to get more than their fair share of the pie.
Police said the incident took place around 11:30am, which was the last day for dropping tender for the extension work of the Tejgaon power sub-station and the Madartek sub-station costing Tk42 lakh and Tk31 lakh respectively under the Dhaka Power Distribution Company.

People from Tanvir Group, Talukder Construction and Mahbub Alam Construction submitted their documents. But festivities broke out when some men from Madina Group showed up to drop the tender around 11am.

Several rounds of bullets were fired at the time. A bullet also hit the car of power division's Additional Secretary Ahmad Kaikaus parked on the first floor of the building.

During the clash two bombs were blasted in front of the vehicle pool at secretariat.

Mamun, 30, was maimed in the head while vandalising a vehicle on the Bidyut Bhaban premises.

He was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for primary treatment and was later taken to police custody.

Saidul Islam, officer in-charge of Shahbagh cop shoppe said they rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control.
