According to eyewitnesses and locals, senior journalist Alam Khan was on his way to gather news in CNG when he reached Gangajali Bridge area of Jayanagar Union, when a group of terrorists stopped his CNG. At that time, Lutfar, son of Abul Hashem of Sujatpur area and a fishmonger, attacked journalist Roni Alam Khan, a terrorist who came in Honda.

Local residents said that the attackers are drug dealers and drug workers. Lutfar and Roni Gongra may have carried out the attack because of anti-narcotics newspaper coverage and prior enmity.
