 Two members of the outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-Janajuddho) were killed during a fierce gunfight between the outlaws and the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) in Mirpur upazila of the district on Friday night.
| Two more commie perps fail to dodge the bullet in an upazila you've never heard of. An amusing tale! |
The dead were identified as Abir Hasan, 36, operations commander and the general secretary of the outlawed outfit, and his sidekick cohort, Taizal.
According to a Rab-12 statement, ...
| They're up to 12 RAB teams now? Business must be good ... |
... acting on a tip-off, a team led by Major Hafiz went to the house of Habib Uddin at West Duarpara in Mirpur upazila at around 5:30pm where the outlaw leader was supposed to be presiding over a secret meeting.
Being confirmed about the presence of the outlaws, the law enforcers cordoned off the house and asked them to surrender.
| This is no Saudi style surrounding, either. |
At this, the outlaws in the house opened fire on the Rab personnel.
| "Cheez it's the RAB! Get to the window and start blasting!" |
One ASP (assistant superintendent of police) was bullet hit at this time, the statement said.
| Oh that's not going to go over well. |
Then the Rab asked the Khulna Range of Police for more troops and a fierce gunfight ensued at about 7:30pm that lasted for nearly three hours. Both sides exchanged around 500 shots during the shootout.
| Other than the super, all those bullets only hit the two mugs. |
At one stage, the Rab team set fire to the house.
| There's a new wrinkle in the traditional cross-fire. Bullet-hit and charred! |
After the fight was over, Rab found two dead bodies in a room of the house.
"I don't know, Sarge, they look pretty crispy to me."
"Toss them into the truck and take them to Dr. Quincy. He'll know what to do." |
They also recovered one US made M-16 rifle, one shutter gun and 60 rounds of bullet from the spot.
| Yes! A shutter gun! Even the RAB-12 has one! |
Hailing from Jadabpur village in Alamdanga upazila in Chuadanga, Abir Hasan alias Nashar joined the PBCP in 1999. He was made operations commander in 2003 after another top PBCP leader Shoeb died.
A most wanted criminal in the police list, Abir was accused in 12 systems 60 different cases and also admitted responsibility for at least 50 murders in the region at different times.
| And he's a commie so he was meat on a stick to the RAB. |
