in the capital and Barguna early yesterday....and who's our unlucky contestants today, Johnny?
They are Nabir Hossain Dabir, 28, from Sakhipur of Shariatpur, and Abdul Khaleq, 50, of Badarkhali union of Barguna.
Hmmmph. Some lot of bad guys these are. Not an alias amongst them.
| When a man has three names all his own, he needs no false one. |
Whaddya say, boys? Wanna go catch some criminals?
Catch some criminals? When did the policy change, sarge?
As the criminals saw the Rab men, they started firing on the law enforcers. The Rab team fired back and at one stage Dabir was rubbed out.
Still wanna catch them, sarge?
Nah...
BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG...
Dabir's cohorts, however, managed to flee.
Damn!!! Almost got 'em this time, sarge.
Oh, well. There'll be a next time. Probably in a coupla hours...
A revolver, a single-shot firearm and two bullets were recovered from the scene, Iqbal said.
Hey, anybody call the shop to see what's up with the shutter gun?
"Only allowed to check it out when the miscreants have an alias, sarge."
The OC identified Dabir as the second-in-command of Zamil Group, a criminal gang active in the area.
Dabir was a resident of Kalshi in Pallabi and an accused in many cases filed with Pallabi Police Station, the OC said.
How many, OC?
Oh...a whole bunch.
Meanwhile,
...back at the ranch...
Abdul Khaleq died in a shootout with Rab at Gaurichanna of Barguna sadar upazila.
| It's on the map. The really big one, labelled in really, really small letters. You'll want the 10x jeweller's loupe -- the magnifying glass won't do. |
| Mahmoud the Weasel's grand-nephew has joined the family business, and is pulling his weight already. The Weasel family have something like 24 Rab units to support these days. |
[BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!]
At one stage of the shootout, the criminals decamped the scene.
Damn, sarge! They got away again!
Oh, well. Not our night I guess, Mahmoud.
Hey, sarge. Who's the new guy?
Locals at about 6:00am found Khaleq's dead body, said Shariful Islam, deputy assistant director of Rab-8.
Yo, RAB guys? This guy belong to you?
Oh, there he is. Thanks, citizen. We'll take it from here...
The body was sent to Barguna General Hospital.
| "He's dead, Jim." "Dr. Quincy, how do you do it?" "The lack of blood is always a preliminary indicator, Jim, along with the bullet holes behind each ear. And you'll note, if you look closely.. here... that he isn't breathing." |
| All that, and Mr. Khaleq is only wanted on one system? |
