Mobs kill 6 robbers in Gazipur, Habiganj

2011-04-10

[Bangla Daily Star] Six alleged robbers were beaten to death and five injured by mobs in Kapasia of Gazipur and Lakhai of Habiganj yesterday.

It's a dangerous thing to be a miscreant in Bangladesh. The newbies get beaten to death by mobs, the old hand are cross-fired by the Rab. It's a wonder there are any criminals at all.

In Kapasia, villagers at Dighirkandi of Kurihata union caught nine robbers at around 8:30pm.

So new at the game that they didn't know about plotting first, leaving nothing for Mahmoud the Weasel to report.

They killed four before police could reach the spot.

"What spot, O'Siddique?"
"That spot, Sergeant. The same spot where we had that cross-fire two months ago. Look, sir -- you can still see the X."

The five others were rescued critically injured and rushed to local hospital, said Kapasia police.

"Dr. Quincy, another shipment for you... and sir, have you any colleagues accustomed to dealing with bodies that are still breathing?"

Of the dead, only one--Masud, 35, of Mymensingh--could be identified.

He was wearing an i.d. bracelet, which made it easy.

The gang was preparing to commit robbery in the houses of Monir and Zakir, who have recently returned from Soddy Arabia, Officer-in-Charge Jamal Uddin Meer of Kapasia Police Station told The Daily Star around 12:15am.

"Aged between 25 and 35, all nine were professional robbers. They had gathered in the house of local robber Khaleque, who is now in jail," added the OC.

Our staff correspondent in Sylhet reports: Villagers in Lakhai upazila of Habiganj clubbed two alleged robbers to death early yesterday.

The two--Kajol Miah, 45, and Zillu Miah, 40, of Madhabpur upazila--were caught while trying to flee the house of Jitu Miah at Dharmapur village.

Along with several others, they had burst into the house around 2:00am and held the family members at gunpoint.

Hearing cries for help, neighbours surrounded the house and caught two robbers. However,
The infamous However...
the rest of the gang managed to make off with cash and valuables worth around Tk 4 lakh, Nizam Uddin Ahmed, officer-in-charge of Lakhai Police Station, told The Daily Star.

Three villagers were shot and injured when fleeing robbers opened fire on them.
