An alleged criminal of the city was gunned down in the Beribandh area near Rayerbazar Martyred IntellectualsÂ’ Memorial under Mohammadpur police station in the small hours yesterday in an encounter between his associates and elite force Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).
| And there's only one winner in such an encounter. |
RAB recovered a shooter gun, two rounds of live bullet and the shell of a spent bullet from the spot.
| Ah, a 'shooter' gun, not a 'shutter' gun. Coincidence or did something happen in the police lock-up? |
| "Shooter Gun" has been confirmed to be slang for a shotgun of some type. I stil think "shutter gun" is some kind of homemade zipgun |
The dead was identified as Jahangir Hossain Dipu (23), son of Mizanur Rahman and a resident of West Shawrapara at Mirpur. He hailed from Kazi Kasba at Munshiganj Thana under Munshiganj district, said Mohammadpur Thana police.
| No, I don't know where that is. |
According to RAB officials, acting on a tip-off ...
| ...that would be Insaf the Weasel ... |
... a squad of RAB-2 raided Jigatala Market under Hazaribagh police station and arrested the notorious criminal Dipu at around 12.30 p.m. on Tuesday.
| "Dipu, eh? What a name for a notorious con. Anyways, youse coming wit us, Dippy or not!" |
Following his painfully but efficiently extracted confessional statement on the day, ...
| ... "oochy! ouchy! stop that!" ... |
... the RAB team went out along with Dipu and raided different parts of the city at around 7.30 p.m. ...
| ... kinda early for the RAB ... |
... but failed to recover any arms and nab the alleged criminalÂ’s accomplices. They came back to the RAB office in a very cross mood at around 11.30 p.m. Following interrogation during the night, ...
"Hokay, Dipu, we ain't so happy with youse." [thunk]
"Youse led us on a wide-goose chase, you know that?" [thunk]
"Youse know what happens when we ain't happy, don't youse?" [thunk]
"Now then, youse gonna tell us where the secret lair is?" [thunk]
"Or do I keep whacking youse with this number 7 here?" [thunk] |
... a team of RAB-2 along with Dipu bruised and minus his teeth went out for the Beribandh area around Rayerbazar Martyred IntellectualsÂ’ Memorial at about 4.30 am yesterday ...
| ... ah, that's the RAB we know ... |
... to recover arms and ammunition and nab DipuÂ’s accomplices.
| Because Dipu finally talked about the secret lair. |
As they reached the area the close associates of Dipu fired at the vehicle of RAB.
| "Cheez, it's the RAB! Open random, aimless fire, boys!" |
In response, the members of RAB instantly fired back getting down from their transport. At this stage, Dipu was pushed lifelessly from jumped down from the car and tried to flee the scene.
| "Feets don't fail me ... [click BANG! BANG!] ...rosebud." |
As a result Dipu was caught in a ‘crossfire’, receiving five bullets in his body that were fired by his accomplices. Three bullets hit his chest and two his legs.
| And another two in the back of the head from the RAB in their transport. |
Dipu died on the spot. | Of course he did, there wouldn't be a story if he didn't. |
But the other unidentified criminals numbering fourteen to fifteen managed to escape from the scene.
| "Run away! Run away!" And all without stopping a single bullet from the crack shots of the RAB. |
| "Vanished into the night they did! And without leaving a trace. Why, it's almost like they weren't even there!" |
RAB officials said Dipu was accused in 10 cases.
He had the death sentence on 12 10 systems, he did. |
Alamgir Hossain Tipu, brother of Dipu, claimed that his brother was a leather trader of the Hazaribag area admitting that Dipu was accused in a case and detained by police for one and half years. But Tipu denied the charge of murder against his brother.
Mizanur Rahman, father of Dipu, talking to The Independent said that the killing of his son in ‘crossfire’ involving RAB was arranged by their informer Insaf Ali as Dipu had refused to give him Taka five thousand as toll.
| "Five thousand Taka! Are youse nuts! I'll take my chances with the RAB!" |
Sources said that Dipu was third among five brothers and four sisters. He got married just six months ago.
| No problem, Dad, now you just marry the widow and ... |
The body of Dipu was sent to the morgue of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) for autopsy.
| "Here's another one for the morning watch, Dr. Quincy!" |
His body was not handed over to his family till the filing of the report at around 6 pm.
| "Criminy, Sam, I'm still dictating! Tell 'em to wait!" |
RAB-2 filed two cases against the alleged criminal Dipu with Mohammadpur police station -- a murder and an arms case.
| He beat the rap, but not the RAB. |
| He fought the law, and the law won. |
