A robber was killed in an encounter with Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at Shamlapur village under Baharchara Union of Teknaf upazila early yesterday.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of Rab-7 raided a place at the village where the robber, Sayed Kashem, 32, and his accomplices were holding a secret meeting at around 4:00am.
That magical hour when things just seem to happen ... | Sensing the presence of the Rab men, ...
... "Hark, my spider-sense is tingling!" ... | ... the gang opened fire, ...
... "Eat lead you dirty rotten RAB coppers!" ... | ... forcing the law enforcers to retaliate.
Right after they whacked Sayed and tossed his body out the back of the truck. | Rab sources said, Kashem received bullets during the "shootout" ...
... one behind each ear ... | ... and died instantly, ...
... while his cohorts managed to flee.
As if they were never there. No spent rounds, no footprints. | Two Rab members--Zaker and Hasan---were injured in the gunfight, the sources added.
Lifting Sayed back into the truck for the ride over to Dr. Quincy's place. | Five guns and seven bullets were recovered from the spot.
The shutter gun is at the lock-up for RAB5. |
