Our Madaripur correspondent reports: The members of RAB-4 arrested Leku, the top listed criminal of Rajair thana from Tongi in Gazipur at around 5pm on October 27. He was accused in 19 criminal cases including five of murder.
| Hokey smokes! That's hardball politix! |
RAB sources said, following Leku’s confessional statement, a squad of RAB-4 along with him went to Badarpasha union under Rajair police station in Madaripur district to nab the criminals and recover arms from their possession at around 4.17am yesterday.
| Sometime around there, give or take 30 seconds either way... |
Sensing the presence of RAB, criminals fired upon them who also retaliated.
| Just goes to reinforce my contention that there's nothing wholesome going on in the world at 4.17 am... |
As a result Leku was hit by bullets and died on the spot.
RAB members recovered a foreign made pistol, a pipe gun, eight rounds of bullet and two knives from the spot.
| Brought two knives to a gunfight, did he? Bright move. |
