 A leader of an outlawed party was killed allegedly in crossfire between his accomplices and police in Bhatkoi village in Raninagar upazila yesterday. Police sources said locals of Amirpur village caught Sweet alias Tiger Killer, 26, a fugitive criminal wanted in a number of cases, and handed him over to police Saturday. Sweet during interrogation admitted his involvement in a number of murders and also gave information about illegal firearms, the sources added. Police took him to Burir Pukur in Dakkhin Hindupara to seize the firearms and came under attack by his accomplices, the sources said. They said Sweet died on the spot during a 'shootout', as police returned fire. Police seized six bullets and other weapons from the spot.
| Seems like every time the Bangladesh cops take a guy to show them where the weapons are stashed, he gets killed in the crossfire. Not that I'm complaining, mind you... |
