Gunmen fired at the private car of popular singer and former Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director Asif Akbar in Moghbazar, Dhaka, early Saturday (October 24).
The incident took place in front of Bishal Center in Moghbazar in the early hours of the morning.
Police said Asif Akbar was not inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting and was therefore unharmed.
The identities of those responsible and their motive remain unknown. No information has emerged indicating whether the incident was connected to any personal or professional dispute involving the singer.
Asif Akbar is a well-known figure in Bangladesh’s music industry and has also been associated with the country’s cricket administration. He previously served as a director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
