Criminal killed in 'gunfight' with cops
2012-10-14
[Bangla Daily Star] A criminal was killed and another sustained bullet wounds when a gang of hoodlums "exchanged fire" with police after a chase on a road in Ashulia on the outskirts of the city yesterday afternoon.
Didn't bother to set up a 'crossfire', did they...
It's only the local police, not the Rab. Kudos to them for trying.
The dead is Rony
...who is rony no more...
aged about 22. He was from Kaundia area of Savar.
No doubt a certain mod will claim that with a high magnification jewelers loupe she can find that on a map...
It's near Dhaka. Good shopping, mediocre restaurants
See? So there, O Salmon One.
Police locked away
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
six members of the gang including the maimed and recovered one revolver, ten bullets, two machetes and two knives from their possession, Wahiduzzaman, officer-in-charge of the police's Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka, told The Daily Star.
No shutter gun? Rony didn't rate?
It was a running battle, so they didn't have time to check out any of the shiny things from the evidence locker. Besides, nobody seems to do shutter guns anymore.
That's what prosperity will do to you...
Law enforcers had information that a gang of myrmidons will cross Narasinghapur in the afternoon.
"Hist! Sarge! It's Mahmoud the Weasel's fourteenth grandson once removed, and have I got news for you!"
Accordingly, a 10-member team of the DB set up a check post on a road in Dhonaid around 4:00pm and started checking vehicles there.
And, as a bonus, nab a couple of 'miscreants' for a 3 am crossfire...
As a microbus approached the check post, police signaled it to stop.
"You! [bang] [bang!!] [BLAM!!] Stop!"
But the driver of the vehicle sped away ignoring the police signal.
"You'll never catch me ya flatfoots!"
This prompted the DB men chase the microbus.
"Chase that microbus!"
They sent a wireless message to the high officials of police about the incident.
"Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Be on the lookout for a microbus. That is all."
Alerted by the message, Ashulia police put up a barricade near the Ashulia bridge.
"You there! Lend me that water buffalo!"
The microbus crossed about eight kilometers dodging the police chase and finally stopped near the water buffalo barricade.
Because of the barricade or the fusillade of bullets?
As the DB team reached near the vehicle, the gang shot up the law enforcers,
"Eat hot lead, ya flatfoots!"
forcing them to retaliate.
"Okay, boys, let 'em have it!"
Two myrmidons were hit by bullets, while two others ran into a nearby village.

Villagers caught one of them and handed him over to the police,
...after beating the snot out of him...
while the other managed to escape.
Was he ever there?
Police locked away
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
four more criminals from the microbus and sent the two bullet-hit to Enam Medical College Hospital in Savar, where the doctors declared Rony dead.
"He's dead, Jim!"
"No problem, send him on to Dr. Quincy."
The injured were undergoing treatment there.
Why bother, they're going to end up in cross-fires...
It's easier on the trainees if their miscreants aren't at full strength, like Mama Cat teaching her kittens to hunt.

#7  You're worried about the Buffalo, but I want to know what the hell a Micro-bus is. Was Rony a Clown?
