| [Dhaka Tribune] An alleged bully boy was killed in what police called a 'shootout' in Damurhuda upazila, Chuadanga early yesterday. The dear departed was identified as Abul Kashem, 35, son of late Juron Ali of Damurhuda upazila. Police said Kashem was an bully boy and had several cases against him. A patrol team of police was attacked in Kanaibabur Aam Bagan area of Boalmari around 3:00am, officer-in-charge of Damurhuda Police Station Ahsan Habib told The Dhaka Tribune. "The miscreants hurled three crude bombs and also fired gunshots," he said, adding that the law enforcers had been compelled to fire back in order to protect themselves. The body of Kashem was recovered from the spot later and police also recovered a locally-made gun, five rounds of bullets and four crude bombs from there, Habib said. "Kashem was a terrorist. He has been named an accused in several cases, including murder and abduction, that were filed with a number of cop shoppes including Damurhuda Police Station," Habib added. The incident comes amidst protests in the country over extrajudicial killings. |
