RAB foiled in a snatch
2006-09-18
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, someone's going to get a crossfire for this ...
A criminal managed to get away from Rapid Action Battalion (Rab)'s clutch at Mirersarai upazila of the district yesterday. Sources said, two plainclothes personnel of Rab -- Captain Shahriar and constable Nazmul -- went to Nandipur village under Mirersarai yesterday morning and took position inside a shop to arrest the criminal, also a Jubo Dal goon, Tobarak Hossain.

The two Rab members apprehended Tobarak when he turned up near the shop at around 11:30am, but a local mob rushed to the scene and snatched Tobarak from Rab custody after he screamed out for help terming the Rab men muggers.
"I can't hold him Cap'n! They're all over me! Start shooting!"
Captain Shahriar's revolver slipped into a nearby bush during the scuffle, added the sources.
"Sorry Constable, I lost my gun in the bush."
On request by the two Rab members, another Rab team rushed to the spot to help them out and recovered the revolver in the afternoon.
Wonder why, it wasn't like it was a shutter gun ...

#4  RD, I believe they are thugs which work as enforcers for Bangladesh National Party. Which is part of the ruling coalition government. You sometimes hear of clashes between the Purbla - Bangla communists (often times victims of the RAB) and the Jubo Dal.

#3  The problem: they went out at 11:30 AM instead of 11:30 PM. Simple mistake...

#1  ut oh, very fishy RAB report

btw did I fall asleep during class? as I do not recognize the "Jubo Dal goon" variety? but I'm sure glad RAB is on their case.

"revolver slipped into a nearby bush"... hey that has happened to me once or twice but It wasn't a revolver.
