| [Bangla Daily Star] A security guard and an alleged criminal were killed in separate incidents in the city's Kafrul and Lalbagh yesterday and early hours of today. Besides, muggers looted valuables from a police officer by stabbing him at Malibagh in the city yesterday morning. Mugging a cop. That's tough. They're either really competent crooks or he's a really incompetent cop. Or both. The deceased were identified as Anwar Hossain, 25, a security guard of developers firm IBBL, and Mohammad Reaz, 25, a suspected criminal of Jagannath Saha Road in Lalbagh. Abdul Hamid, another security guard who witnessed the killing of Anwar, said three youths came to the site of an under-construction building at Senpara Parbata at about 6:00am and looked for the owners of the construction work. "As Anwar asked them why they needed the officials, the gang first stabbed him and then fired a gunshot at him before leaving the scene," he said. Anwar who hailed from Gaibandha died on the spot. Can't blame him. I'da prob'ly done the same. Neighbours said the criminals had demanded extortion money from the house owner a few days ago. Delwar Ahmed, officer-in-charge (OC) of Kafrul police station, said they were not informed about the matter. "The cops are always the last to know." In the other incident, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Abdul Kader of special branch (SB) came under attack while he was going to his office from his Rampura residence around 4:00am. "Mornin' boys! What brings youse out so early?" "Give us yer dough!" Police said the muggers took away his mobile phone, watch and cash money he was carrying. The ASI with the help of pedestrians caught one of the muggers, Shiplu who was later handed over to police. "Help! Help! Police!" "Russell! That policeman's calling for the cops!" "I don't see any but him! Maybe we should help!" "Good idea! Here, you! Halt or I'll shoot!" "[SCREECH!] Don't shoot!" "Don't worry. He ain't got no gun!" "But I do! [Huffa puffa!] Yez didn't nick that, did yez?" The injured ASI was first taken to DMCH then shifted to Rajarbagh Police Lines Hospital. |
