Party sources said that at night, Siraj’s followers Borhan Uddin and Nazrul Islam Sohel Emdadul’s followers Jubo Dal activists took Jasim away. Tensions flared between the two parties over this.
Jasim told reporters that Chittagong City Corporation Mayor and former city BNP president Shahadat Hossain had ordered the removal of the ‘terrorist-extortionist’ banner that had been put up using his picture. I have removed the banners. Among them were the banners of Borhan along with the pictures of Shahadat and Siraj. Angered by this, the Borhans took me away and beat me up.
When news of Jasim’s arrest spread, Emdadul’s followers went to rescue him, an exchange of gunfire broke out between the two sides. At that time, Sajjad was shot. Later, when he was taken to the hospital, the doctor declared him dead.

I want his killers to be brought to justice.” The deceased’s brother Mohammad Imran said, “My brother was involved in Chhatra Dal politics. I want his killers to be hanged.”
