Bandit leader killed in Sundarbans 'gunfight'
|
 [Dhaka Tribune] A bandit leader has been killed in a "shootout" between the law enforcers and his gang members in Sundarbans' Khulna range early Friday.
| Of course he was. Could it happen otherwise? |
The dear departed is Moktarul Dhali, 32, the chief of bandit group Masud Bahini.
| Oooohhhh, Bahinis! We haven't had Bahinis in a while, but they're a classic. When Bangladesh declared independence in 1971 due to Pakistani mistreatment -- somewhere between a major purge of all the significant sectors of Bangladeshi society and attempted genocide -- the Mukti Bahini ("liberation army") was the fighting force that developed, made up of the Bangladeshi professional military and paramilitary men, and civilian volunteers. After winning so decisively that the entire Pakistani army in Bangladesh surrendered, the Mukti Bahini was disbanded in 1972. It's not clear if the bahinis we're seeing now are sad criminal remnants of that long ago time, or mere puffed up criminals. |
District Detective Police Inspector Rokonuzzaman said: "The police tossed in the clink
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
Moktarul from Mostafa Mor area of Khulna city on Thursday morning. Later, acting on Moktarul's information,
| No, of course torture was not used. How could you ask such a thing, dear Reader?! It was after a congenial sharing of Sergeant Belal's personal tea and biscuits that the man told all. |
the police took him to Bhutmarir Char under Kaira upazila in Sundarbans in order to recover arms and ammunitions."
| We wait with baited breath to discover if the shutter gun was removed from its velvet case for the occasion... |
"At one stage of the drive, the cohorts of Moktarul opened fire on the law enforcers.
| Unseen, but definitely not unheard. Someone's spidey sense was tingling, no doubt about it. |
In retaliation,
| ...really, what else were they to do in such a situation? |
the police also fired back that triggered a shootout between the bandidos and the police. Some 80 rounds of bullets have been exchanged during the shootout."
The inspector further said: "The bandidos managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
around 12 midnight. Later, the police found the bullet-hit body of Moktarul and sent it to Khulna Medical College Hospital."
| Sarge had laid on a substantial tea to help the officers heal their shattered nerves. When they cleaned up they discovered the table board had been resting on poor Moktarul's bullet-hit body, which explained the wobbliness. The raw recruit was sharply spoken to, believe me! |
Eight local guns, 15 rounds of bullets and six hand bombs have been recovered from the spot, said the police.
| But no shutter gun. Perhaps next time, my dears. |
Kaira cop shoppe Officer- in-Charge Subir Datta said: "Moktarul was wanted in six cases of robbery and extortion.
| They missed mopery and dopery along the spaceways, but it'll have to do. |
He was the second-in-command of Masud Bahini. After the death of Masud, he took the charge of the gang in 2013."
| That explains the Masud part of the name, which is not in the 1971 table of organization seen here (scroll down). |
