Sensing the presence of police, they started firing that triggered an hour-long gun battle between the outlaws and police.
| And not a single round was recovered ... |
But the outlaws fled the scene at one stage ...
... and police found Naharul's dead body on the spot.
Police also recovered one LG, 24 rounds of bullet and two swords from there.
| Liquid Gun? Lawyer Gun? Lost Gun? |
| Err... excuse me: swords? Two of them? Are the police quite certain they didn't raid a little fencing club? |
Police said Naharul was one of the most wanted outlaws in the district. He was accused in at least twelve systems 10 cases of extortion and robbery including six for murder filed with Mirpur and Daulatpur police station. |
