A leader of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP Marxist-Leninist) Lal Pataka faction | Marxist-Leninist? How old-fashioned! At least the Naxalites are Maoists. |
[BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG! KAPOW! KAZING!]
"[Gasp!] They got me, Mahmoud! [Rattle!]... [Twitch!]... Rosebud!"
The deceased was identified as Alimul Islam Ratan alias Titu, 38, Son of late Hesab Ali Mondol of Ramara in Bagmara.
"Aaaar! 'Tis a good thing Old Hesab Ali ain't around to see the bad end young Titu come to! He'd be rollin' over in his grave if he knew!"
Titu also known as Titas and Bikash was most haunted outlaw by all law enforcement agencies as he was made chief of the outfit following death of other top outlawed leaders including Dr Mizanur Rahman Tutul in 2008, a Rab press release said.
"Tutul is dead! Long live Titu!"
The leader used to command in areas including Rajshahi, Naogaon, Chapainawabganj, Natore, Pabna, Shirajganj and Khulna.
"Like a spider at the center of his far-flung web was young Titu!"
Upon information that Titu went to Bagmara for some organisational activities and distributing money among his followers on the occasion of Eid, a team of Rab followed him.
"Sergeant Rafiq! Gather the men! The game's afoot!"
As the Rab members challenged his group at a mango orchard at Tatipara,
"Youse there! Halt! Drop yer weapons and come out withcher hands up!"
they shot fire on the Rab personnel triggering the gunfight.
[BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!]
"Look out men! It's fire!"
After the gunfight the cohorts of Titu managed to flee away,
"Cheaply made sandals, don't fail us now!"
while the Rab members assisted by locals discovered Ratan lying on the ground with fatal wounds.
"There he is!"
"Here, you locals! See if he's still alive!"
"E-w-w-w-w-w-w! He's all bloody and stuff! Why can't you do it?"
As he was rushed to local hospital, the doctors declared him dead.
"He's dead, Jim!"
Out of 12 cases filed against him in Rajshahi, Naogaon and Natore,
"He had the death sentence for each one!"
Ratan was convicted in Alo Khondoker Murder case while he was charge sheeted in some other cases, the press release said. Rab members recovered a 7.65mm pistol, a shutter gun, four bullets, sharp weapons and some PBCP leaflets from the spot.
"Sgt. Rafiq, I believe the shutter gun can return to its velvet-lined case!"
"Yessir!... Ouch!"
"Watch it! Those sharp weapons look... ummm..."
"Sharp?"
