The deceased was identified as Md Sajjad, 22. Bakalia Police Station’s Inspector (Investigation) Mozammel Haque confirmed the matter.
Sajjad was known to be a follower of Emdadul Haque Badsha, the expelled organising secretary of the now-defunct city unit of Jubo Dal, sources inside the party said.
The “gunfight” erupted between Emdadul and former city unit JCD president Gazi Siraj Ullah at 1:30am in Bagar Bilmukh area on Bakalia Access Road following a dispute over tearing down banners, police and party sources said.
