Lakshmipur: A man was killed and two others were injured in a gunfight between two gangs of 'criminals' at Ganeshshyampur in Sadar upazila on Tuesday night.

The deceased is Hanif Moma, a resident of the same village.

Police said there had been a longstanding enmity between Jasim Uddin and Hanif Moma groups over establishing their dominance in the locality.

As a sequel to the enmity, the supporters of both the groups exchanged gunshots at about 10:00pm, leaving Hanif dead on the spot and two others injured.

Police recovered the body and sent it to Lakshmipur Sadar Hospital morgue for an autopsy on Wednesday morning.

Police said there are several cases filed against Hanif.
