But the irony is: in the morning police shot a rickshaw puller (van driver) named Hafizur (22) on his head while he was calling passenger for his van. He fell into ground and spot dead. At the same time, a bicycle mechanic named Haran became injured with bullets of police. Haran mechanic repairs bicylce for several decades. He is very close to all Hindu and Muslim community.

He has been admitted to Hospital in a critical condition. Deceased Hafizur son of Lokman Ali of the Gobindakathi area of Sadar Upazila who was killed in the operation.
