4 hard-boyz held after gunfight with RAB in Gazipur
2011-04-05
A 'gunfight' is like a 'shoot-out' except that the perps are arrested, not executed killed.
Gazipur, Apr 03 (UNB) - Four alleged criminals were arrested along with arms and Yaba tablets
Yaba is a combination of methamphetamine and caffeine. Yaba, which means crazy medicine in Thai, is produced in Southeast and East Asia. In the U.S. it is also known as crazy medicine and Nazi speed.
after gunfight with RAB in Board Bazar Kolomeshwar area in Sadar upazila on Saturday night.
This efficiency drive has clearly gone too far -- key details are missing. Our apologies, dear Reader, but of course we cannot invent the missing information, no matter how firm the traditional forms.
The arrested were identified as Monir Hossain alias Pichchi Hossain, 28, Aziz Khan, 43, Rashed Mia, 29 and Shahidul Islam Khokon, 28.

Acting on tip-off a team of RAB-1 conducted a drive in the area last night. Sensing presence of the law-enforcers, the criminals opened fire on them, prompting retaliation.

Four criminals including a bullet-wounded were arrested from the spot. Pichchi Hossain who received bullet wound in the line of fire was admitted to Sadar hospital.

Two foreign made pistols, a shutter gun and 125 pieces of Yaba tablets were recovered from their possession.
A shutter gun for a mere gunfight?
The men are clearly small-timers, with only 125 pills. They're the size of a pencil eraser, according to the link above, so that's like a baggy's worth.

And not a round of bullet between them. Excluding any that might be embedded in the aforementioned bullet-wounded miscreant, of course. Small timers, indeed.
