'Outlaw' killed in Pabna 'shootout'
2011-02-04
[Bangla Daily Star] A regional commander of Purba Banglar Communist Party (Lal-Pataka) was killed in a 'shootout' with police in Ataikula of Pabna early Thursday.
Okay, men. Tonight we go back to the future.
Purba Banglar commies, sarge?
Right you are, Mahmoud.
The dear departed, Abdul Hamid alias Thosha Hamid, 32,
What's the point of an alias if one keeps one's last name?
son of Abdur Rashid of Kakilakhali village in Ataikula, was accused in a number of cases including three for murder, police sources said.
Wanted on five systems, the man was.
Officer-in-charge Habibul Islam of Ataikula Police Station said a team, led by him, started a drive at Kakilakhali village to catch outlaws shortly after the midnight.
Hey, sarge? Why's the OC coming with us?
Oh. He said he was getting rusty. Plus, he said he couldn't sleep...
But when they reached near Kakilakhali Beel at about 3:30am, Hamid and his gang opened fire on the police personnel suspecting them as their rivals.
Ah, a twist in the plot. They must have a new PR guy.
In reply, police fired shots, triggering a 20-minute 'shootout'.
Mahmoud! Get out the stopwatch!
BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG.....
Bangety-bang-bangety! Stop!!
The law enforcers found the bullet-hit body of Hamid after his associates decamped the scene, reports our Pabna correspondent quoting the OC.
Yo! RAB guys! Hamid's been bullet-hit. Can we go now?
Okay. Drive safely...
Police recovered one foreign-made revolver, two magazines, one bullet and two cartridges from the scene.
Time and Newsweek?
How sad. Not even the slightest hint that the former Mr. Hamid will be missed by kith and kin. To a man of such wide acquaintance to be unmourned even by his mother -- it's just sad.
