Extremist killed in police shootout
2008-07-28
Top leader and theorist of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (ML-Lalpotaka) Dr Tutul was killed in police shootout early on Sunday.
Not a Biplobi, a Purbo commie, but just as dead ...
Police said Dr Tutul alias Dr Mizanur Rahman alias Masud alias Dada-bhai was wanted in over twelve systems 200 cases including murders in 16 northern districts including of greater Rajshahi and greater Pabna.
Wherever the heck those are ...
He was a suspect of police killings and arms loot incidents at Randhunibari police camp in Sirajganj, Bamihal police camp in Natore and Tahirpur police camp in Rajshahi and at Choubariahat in Naogaon.
Must have been an honorary doctor ...
Police said acting on a tip off, they raided Kaligram Eidgah ground in Raninagar upazila where 50/60 extremists were holding a clandestine meeting.
Monthly meeting of the Purbo commies, discussing the next shutter-gun raffle fund-raiser ...
"Sensing police presence, ...
Yep, their spider sense tingled ...
... the outlaws opened fire on them ...
Not hitting a thing of course ...
... forcing the law enforcers to retaliate that triggered a gun fight.
All one-sided ...
At one stage the extremists fled the scene", said a police official giving an account of the spot.
As if they were never there in the first place.
Police later recovered the bullet-hit body of Dr Tutul from the scene.
Right where they had dumped him out of the truck ...
When he was taken to the upazila health complex the attending doctors declared him dead.
"He's dead, Jim."
He hailed from Kotchandpur upazila of Jhe-nidah district.
That's somewhere in the equatorial belt of Tattooine ...
Two firearms, 25 rounds of bullet and some sharp weapons were recovered from the scene.
Commies brought knives to a gun-fight ...

#3  One dead commie, a few pieces of broken glass, and the 2 guns and 25 bullets were returned to the police weapons locker (whoever checked them out had to sign a chit). All things considered, a very tidy scene for a shoot-out.

"Say, those are some sharp weapons, Hal."

"Thanks, Ted. I got them at Sharper Image. This one has this thing that tells time..."

#1  It's nice to see a top dog get the RAB treatment instead of low-level thugs.
