| [Dhaka Tribune] A member of an outlawed party has been killed in a shootout with RAB at Chutlia under Jhenaidah sadar upazila. The dear departed is Rafiqul Islam, alias Chhoto Tarek, 31, member of the Biplabi Communist Party and son of Abdul Jalil of Bishoykhali village under the sadar upazila. Jhenaidah RAB Company Commander Squadron Leader Niaz Mohammad Faisal said law enforcers locked away Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! Rafiqul from his village on Monday. "On the basis of information he provided, a RAB team conducted a drive to recover firearms in Chutlia at 4:30am on Tuesday. Spider senses tingling at the proximity of RAB officers in the area, Rafiqul's associates started firing at the law enforcers," he said. In retaliation, the RAB officers fired back, triggering a shootout, and leaving Rafiqul dead on the spot while escaping. RAB officials also recovered two 9mm pistols, a shooter gun, two local pistols, six petrol bombs, and 10 rounds of ammunition from the scene. The body was sent to Jhenaidah General Hospital morgue for an appointment with Dr. Quincy, he said. Several cases were filed against Rafiqul, including abduction and extortion in the area, added the RAB official. |
