'Criminal' killed in city 'shootout'
2011-03-25
An alleged criminal was killed in a 'shootout' between his cohorts and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) in Shyampur area under Kadamtali Police Station in the capital early Thursday.

The dear departed, Gopal Chandra Das, 32,
What? No alias?
The man has three names all his own. No need to be greedy.
was a listed criminal in the area and also accused in at least 10 cases, mostly for murder, police said.
A true badman, for sure and certain.
Officer-in-charge Kazi Ayubur Rahman of Kadamtali Police Station said a patrol team of Rab-10 challenged Gopal and his gang while they were holding a 'secret' meeting
So secret that only the henchmen, Mahmoud the Weasel, and therefore the local Rab unit knew about it.
near Wasa pond at Shyampur at about 1:30am.
Was there a banana grove near the pond?
Sensing their presence,
My spider sense! It's tingling again! To arms! Aux barricades!
 the gang shot up the elite force members compelling them to retaliate with bullets.
Really, they would have preferred to retaliate with daisies, but what can one do in such a situation, after all?
Gopal was caught in the line of fire and was struck down in his prime, the OC said. The other gang members however managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
A foreign-made pistol and one bullet were recovered from the scene.
Does Bangladesh have domestic-made pistols?
One bullet!?! What happened to the rest of the crossfire?
