[Bangla Daily Star] A criminal was killed in a "shootout" between his cohorts and Rapid Action Battalion here in the port city in the early hours yesterday.In the port city this time, not in a banana grove ...
| Yes, but where in the port city? There must be a great many appropriately proletarian meeting places in a port city -- near the port, f'r instance. City mouse, country mouse, they're all proletarians -- the Rab aren't interested in that upper class, white collar stuff. |
If I were to be a master criminal I'd want at least five stars ...
was a cadre of Islami Chhatra Shibir and one of the most wanted criminals in Chittagong.
Wanted on twelve systems in fact ....
Acting on a tip-off,
tip o' the hat to Mahmoud the Weasel ...
| Have you forgotten? Mahmoud retired on the income from his investments. His eldest son, Belal the Weasel (the Weasel is an old and honourable family name, like Smith) took over the family business, and looks fair to exceed his father. |
"Hey, could you keep it quiet out there? We're trying to have a shoot-out!"
around 4.00am
So the RAB must have had a two-fer somewheres ...
when a gang of criminals gathered there to commit a crime, sources said.
Not just a meeting in their secret lair, that's what the banana grove is for ...
After the gang opened fire,
"Open aimless fire, boys!"
the Rab personnel retaliated
Of course they did, they were honor-bound ...
and the gunfight continued for 30 minutes.
Not that the RAB needed more then 10 seconds to dispatch Jashim ...
I think the 30 minutes is a union-workplace thing.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Saidul Islam of Rab-7 told The Daily Star
The RAB does on-the-spot press conferences now?
| The officers have been taking continuing ed. classes. It's nice to see the department profitting from the result. |
Caught one behind each ear just before he was tossed off the back of the truck ...
| "He stumbled, Sarge, and his head moved into the line of fire. There was nothing we could do to stop him!" |
As opposed to resuscitation ...
and Rab-7 handed it over to Bayezid police after the post mortem, he added.
"He's missing a brain and a liver but the rest is yours, boys!"
| A liver? I'm confused. |
Rab members recovered two light guns and two bullets after the incident.
So five stars isn't enough to merit a shutter gun ...
Bayezid police in several raids in last two months arrested Jashim's five cohorts and were seeking out Jashim.
They were making a list and checking it twice ...
Jashim is accused in at least 15 cases including three for murders with Bayezid and other police stations.
So his mother likely didn't love him ...
He was also a prime accused in the sensational murder of ward commissioner of Panchlaish Liakat Hossain in 1998.
The wheels of justice turn slowly in B'desh ...
Officer-in-Charge of Bayezid Police Station Abdus Sabur said the five associates of Jashim were Shibir cadres Sweden Sohel, Dhama Sohel, Jahangir, Sabuj, and his second-in-command Chhotan.
Chhotan will be featured in a 'cross-fire' in the near future ...
He said information extracted from the arrestees helped trace the gang yesterday.
"Thanks boys. Say, who wants to volunteer more information about your gang? First prize is you get to sleep peacefully at 4 am!"
