[Bangla Daily Star] An operative of outlawed Sarbahara Party was killed in a 'shootout' between his cohorts and law enforcers in Batajhor area under Gouronodi upazila of Barisal early yesterday.A "shootout" is when when you haven't arrested the dead guy first and shoved him into a "crossfire".
The dead was identified as Babul Sardar alias Babul, 35,
| Seriously unimaginative on Babul's part, to use his given name as an alias. It's like a toddler fondly believing that covering its eyes makes it invisible. |
Not nearly as fearsome an alias as "Killer" or even "Knuckles". Though admittedly scarier than "Russell"...
According to a statement of Rab, a joint team of Gouronodi police and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab-8) raided Batajhor area where some Sarbahara Party men were holding a meeting at about 3:35am.
Presumably in a dark, witness-free area.
Sensing law enforcers' presence, the underground operatives opened fire, forcing them to retaliate.
It's programmed into them, kind of like the macro used to write this news release
At one stage the operatives of the outlawed party managed to flee the scene
| In a clown car micro van? |
while the body of Babul was found lying on the ground, the statement said.
| "He's dead, Sarge." |
| That's not very many bullets for random mad firing by both parties, even if you add the two Dr. Quincy found that entered Babul's skull behind his right ear. |
| Truly a badman, Babul was wanted on many systems. Thank goodness the Rab and police caught him before he thought of setting up a school, like Fagin in Charles Dickens' London. |
