Dacoit killed in gunfight with RAB in Banshkhali
Feb 14: One alleged robber was killed in a gun fight between the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and armed robbers at Banshkhali in the district last night.
That's normal
After the gunfight, RAB arrested total 14 robbers and recovered firearms from the spot.
That's not normal, arrests after a gunfight, that is
The victim was identified as Mohammad Jamir Uddin (35), son of one Kala Meah.
Alas, poor Jamir, we knew him.....not very well
The arrested persons are Mohammad Kamal (25), Mohammad Azizur Rahman (47), Mohammad Jafar Ahmed (48), Ali Ahmed (35), Shafiqur Rahman (24), Mahfuz Meah (50), Monir Ahmed (35), Mahmudul Islam (18), Mohammad Idris (36), Nurul Kader (22), Nabi Alam (24), Mohammad Fazal Kabir (18), Mohammad Selim (15), Ahmed Ullah (35).

According to the RAB sources, acting on a secret information, a team of RAB raided the home of one Kala Meah at Saral Union under Banshkhali upazila in the district at around 9 pm last night.
That's pretty early for a RAB raid
The armed dacoits attacked the RAB members during the raid. They opened fire on the RAB members at that time.
Not too bright
In retaliation, the RAB members also fired on the armed dacoits. As a result a three-hour long gun fight took place there. At least 200 rounds of bullet were exchanged during the three-hour long gunfight.
Let's see, 60 times 3 equals 180, carry the 1, that's a little over one shot per minute.

Of these, RAB fired total 61 rounds of bullet while, the rest bullets were fired on the RAB members.

However, Mohammad Jamir Uddin, a member of the armed robberÂ’s gang was killed in the crossfire during the gunfight at the spot.
"He's dead, Jim"

The team arrested 14 dacoits from the spot. The RAB also recovered two SBBL guns, one country made gun, three LG guns, 13 rounds of bullet, five lethal weapons from the spot after the gunfight.
Shutter gun isn't used till after midnight
RAB sources said, a case was filed in this connection with Banshkhali thana against the 14 dacoits.

These guyz don't sound read like the usual Purba Banglar commies, they sound read like a JI or JMB cell. No wonder they shot back.

#2  But the suburban-made gun has go-fast stripes, custom pipes, and a massive woofer.

The country -made gun seems new. I think it's a pretty even match against the city-made gun. The suburban-made gun is for pansies.
