Outlaw killed in 'shootout' with police
A listed criminal and regional leader of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP --Janajuddho) was killed in a 'shootout' between law enforcers and the outfit members at village Pirpur under Sadar upazila in Chuadanga district early yesterday.
"shootout" aka "encounter"
The dead was identified as Jhankar, 33.
A team from the Sadar Police Station cordoned off Pirpur Primary School ground at around 2:00am following information that the outfit cadres were holding a meeting there, police said.
Holding one of those "midnight basketball games", no doubt
As the outlaws opened fire on the law enforcers, they retaliated, resulting in an hour-long shootout.
Remember, this is a Bangladeshi shootout. Most likely expended around a dozen rounds, between tea breaks.
After the outlawed operatives fled the scene, Jhankar was found dead on the spot...
Surprise, surprise
..police said, adding that he was accused in 12 cases including eight for murder. Police seized a revolver and six bullets from the spot.
That gun sure gets around


Jubo Leage leader arrested
Police yesterday arrested a leader of Awami League's youth front Jubo League, who was running for the post of commissioner in the April 20 by-election of ward No 63 of Dhaka City Corporation. Sources said Mohammad Hossain Basan was arrested in a case filed after he and his supporters had been beaten up allegedly by BNP lawmaker Nasir Uddin Pintu and his supporters at Badrunnesa College on the election day.
He got arrested because he was the victim?
A team of Lalbagh police aided by Tejgaon police and detectives arrested Basan from the Election Commission premises when he went there to inquire about his appeal to cancel the election results alleging rigging.
"I didn't win, so obviously the election was rigged! It's that damm Karl Rove again."
Four-party alliance candidate Shahida Morshed won the race last month.
When asked, duty officer of Lalbagh Police Station, SI Abdus Sattar told The Daily Star that Basan was arrested following a warrant. He, however, failed to specify the charge.
"We'll get to that after he leads us to his hidden cache of arms.......say, is that mike on?"

7 cops injured in criminal attack in N'ganj
At least seven policemen were injured in Narayanganj as a gang of criminals attacked them with sticks when they were out to arrest the gang.
I hate it when that happens.

A team of Sonargaon Police Station raided Asharia area at in the early hours yesterday after an executive of an industry in the area filed a case accusing the gang members of demanding Tk 10,000 from him in illegal tolls on Monday.
Soon, the police team reached the spot. The criminals dubbed the policemen as robbers and attacked them leaving Sub-Inspectors Shamim and Baten, Assistant Sub-Inspectors Habib and Siddiq and constables Raja, Nannu and Alamgir. Police arrested two alleged criminals Rafiq and Shafiq from the spot.
