In the incident that occurred in jurisdiction of the Paharipura police, the lawyer was killed on the spot along a minor girl, Naila, who along others were playing at the roadside. A colleague of the deceased lawyer, Anwarul Habib, and the innocent Hamza got wounded in the attack.Hamza sustained bullet injuries to his face, chest and liver while the doctors operated upon him twice.

The treatment at Pims, according to the doctors, might cost up to Rs200,000, which the parents of Hamza could not pay due to abject poverty.Hamza has been writhing in pain for the 40 days at the Lady Reading Hospital’s Orthopaedic Ward looking for the much-awaited treatment.
