2 criminals killed in 'shootouts'
2007-10-17
An alleged criminal was killed in a “shootout” between him and Rab members in Rajshahi on Monday.
A "shootout", boys and girls, is when you don't have time to fake a "crossfire".
The deceased was identified as Ali Zafar Babu alias Langra Babu, 40, son of Lutfar Rahman at Resham Patty.
Dad will be so proud.
Rab said they raided Babu's house near Rajshahi Government College at about 6.30pm.
Must have been a warm-up for the later call ...
Sensing their presence, Babu fired at them prompting them to retaliate.
"Hark, I sense the presense of da law! KAPOW!"
"BANG! BANG! KAPOW! BLAM!"
Babu was injured during the shootout.
"Ouch!"
He was taken to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at 7:40pm.
"Rosebud! [Kick! Kick!][Rattle!][Twitch!]"
"He's dead, Jim"
"Sigh. Should have taken him to the Level 1 trauma center."
"This IS the level 1 trauma center!"
Rab members seized a 9mm pistol and four rounds of bullet from the scene. In a press release, Rab said Babu was a top terrorist who was involved in arms and drug smuggling.
Mom didn't love him either. That's why they mentioned only Dad.
Meanwhile, a criminal was killed yesterday in “crossfire” between his accomplices and police at Asannagar village in Chuadanga, reports our Kushtia correspondent.
This just in from our ace correspondent D.J. Wu in Kushtia...
The dead guy was identified as Tagar Ali, 26, son of Abu Daud of Binodpur in Alamdanga upazila. Police said acting on a tip-off, they cordoned off an area at Asannagar village where Tagar, chief of Mukti-Tagar Bahini, was holding a secret meeting with his accomplices at about 2:30am.
Guess it wasn't that much of a secret
Loose lips sink Bahinis.
Sensing the presence of the policemen, they fired on the law enforcers prompting them to retaliate.
"Open fire boys or we're doomed!"
Tagar was killed on the spot.
"Aaaaiiiieeee! I am undone!"
"Ouch.....rosebud.....thud"
Police arrested Tagar's father Abu Daud, 55, and accomplice Torab from the scene. They also recovered a rifle and 16 rounds of bullet. Alamdanga Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Kazi Jalal Uddin was injured in the incident. Police said Tagar was accused on twelve systems in ten cases on different charges including murder.

#3  6:30 was the "shootout", the "crossfire" was at 0230. Shutterguns have been recalled due to lead paint, I guess.

#1  6:30 pm? That's pretty early for the RAB to be out crossfiring.
