Confirming the recovery, Additional Superintendent of Police (Ishwardi Circle) Pranab Kumar said that the recovered double-barrel gun was the weapon used to shoot and kill BNP leader Biru Mollah. While fleeing after the murder, the prime accused Jahurul Mollah left the firearm and ammunition in an abandoned tin shed at Abdul Karim’s house in Kamalpur village. Later, the police recovered the gun and ammunition, which were found wrapped in a red net.
