A young man was shot in public in the court area of Nabinagar Municipality in Brahmanbaria on Friday evening.
The incident occurred around 7:00 pm near Kalibari Mor in the court vicinity.
The injured has been identified as Md. Rabbi, 21, son of Md. Helal Mia, a resident of Shahbazpur Upazila. He currently lives in a rented house in Majhikara area of the municipality.
Rabbi was initially taken to Nabinagar Hospital and later referred to Cumilla Medical College Hospital for further treatment.
Eyewitness Md. Billal Hossain said, “We were having tea at a roadside shop when we heard gunshots. We saw a tall young man running with a pistol in his hand, but no one could identify him. The injured, Rabbi, was immediately taken to Nabinagar Government Hospital.”
