The passport number of Sirajganj's Shahjadpur municipality Mayor Halimul Haque Miru, who allegedly shot dead daily Samakal's Shahjadpur Correspondent- Abdul Hakim Shimul- was blocked.

 

The immigration police blocked the passport on Sunday, says senior information officer of the Police Headquarters, Kamrul Ahsan.

 

Earlier the journalists formed a human chain program that was held in front of the National Press Club in the capital today, demanding justice for the killing of daily Samakal's Shahjadpur Correspondent Abdul Hakim Shimul.

 

From the program, the journalists demanded the trial of Shahjadpur Municipality Mayor Halimul Haque Miru at the speedy trial tribunal as soon as possible.

 

Samakal Journalist Abdul Hakim Shimul sustained bullet wounds during a clash between the supporters of ousted Shahjadpur Municipality Awami League president Abdur Rahim (VP Rahim) and the party unit's Organizational Secretary and Mayor Halimul Haque Miru in Monirampur area of Sirajganj’s Shahjadpur on Thursday.

 

Shimul succumbed to his injuries around 1:00pm on Friday while being taken to Dhaka from Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College in Bogra for better treatment.
