Purbo Banglar Commie held with firearms
2009-06-13
[Bangla Daily Star] A team of Jhenidah Rab-6 arrested a cadre of Purba Banglar Communist Party Janajuddha faction and recovered two firearms and three bullets from his possession during a drive at Baparipara yesterday morning.
Normally they find the bullets in the body and the firearms lying nearby.
The arrestee is Ibrahim Khalil, 35, son of Tayeb Ali of Paschim Krishnapur village under Jhenidah sadar upazila.
No, we don't know where that is..
Rab commander Major Tarique said acting on a tip-off, they arrested Ibrahim, nephew of Abdur Rashid Malitha alias Dada Tapan who was killed in crossfire in Kushtia a few months back. Malitha was the founder of PBCP in the area, he added.
My crystal ball sez Ibrahim will be seeing his dear uncle soon
Sources in Rab said based on Ibrahim's information they recovered one single-barrel rifle, one Indian-made shutter gun and three bullets hidden underground at Ghoramara, Tapan's village in sadar upazila. Ibrahim has been the regional chief of PBCP after Malitha's death, the sources added.

#5  Most seems to fire a .410 shotgun shell. The super deluxe models fire a real bullet.

#3  I've come to the conclusion that "Shutter Gun" must mean Handmade.

I've seen some photos on the Rab website and you're correct. They look like what we call here "zipguns". Very crudely made, pipe for the barrel, taped and wired to a wooden stock.

#2   one Indian-made shutter gun

And the shutter-gun reappears! RAB must have finished their spring house-cleaning.

#1  I've come to the conclusion that "Shutter Gun" must mean Handmade. Not a standard Production line gun, but a copy made secretly
