 [Bangla Daily Star] An outlawed party leader was killed in 'crossfire' in Mahadevpur village under Mirpur upazila of Kushtia early yesterday raising the number of such deaths in the district to 17 in 14 days.
| Old Patriot, we must unfold The Map. Please warn the neighhborhood. |
The deceased was identified as Anwar Hossain Kalu alias Kala Anu, ...
| What, Anwar wasn't good enough for him? |
... 39, son of Amu Malitha of Gacherdia at Daulatpur upazila in the district.
Anwar was a leader of Lal Pataka, a Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-ML) faction, and also a close associate of party's founder Ronny Biswas, who was killed in an 'encounter' last year, police said.
| It's a party tradition, then, so that's ok. |
Acting on a tip-off,
| Mahmoud the Weasel strikes again! |
Rab-12 members raided a house
| a properly proletariat house, one hopes |
at Mahadevpur at about 3:40am
| Three forty? A curiously precise time in the dark of the morning |
where a gang of extremists, led by Anwar, was holding a meeting.
| "No, dammit, my name is Kala!" |
Sensing the presence of law enforcers, the outlaws opened fire forcing them to fire back that triggered a gunfight.
| Perhaps its an unavoidable side effect of the Spidey Sense that make the badmen fire so wildly and ineffectively. |
At one stage,
| The house belonged to theater people? How unexpected! |
the accomplices managed to flee the scene while the body of Anwar was found lying dead on the ground.
| In an overly dramatic pose, too, while his henchmen exeunted on tiptoe as if they'd never been. |
Rab recovered one light gun, two bullets, five explosives and two sharp weapons from the spot.
| Stage props, all, except the bullets later returned to the Rab vault. |
Later police rushed to the spot and recovered the body.
| "Why the rush if the body is already dead, Dr. Quincy? We still need to remove the organs from his Party comrade,to sell to the juices." |
Anwar was accused in six cases including three of murder, police said.
| Wanted on twelve systems, even his mother didn't love him. |
