members in Kachua upazila of Chandpur early yesterday.He will be missed. Actually, he wasn't missed, was he?
Deceased Golam Gaus alias Moni Gaus, 50, was a member of a robbery gang and accused in three robbery cases, said Alamgir Hossain, acting officer-in-charge of Kachua Police Station.
At 50 he was probably getting a little creaky for a life of crime...
Quoting the elite force members, police said a team of Rab-11 challenged the gang at Ghagra around 3:00am when they were preparing for a robbery.
"Arrr! It's 3am, men! Time to plan a robbery or two!"
Sensing danger, the robbers opened fire
"It's the Rab! Open fire, men!"
"But boss! We only got a revolver, one light gun, four cartridges, two rounds of bullet and four sharp weapons!"
forcing the Rab men to retaliate that triggered a shootout.
"You may fire when ready, Sergeant Shafique!"
[BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!]
Gaus came in the line of fire and was struck down in his prime, police said.
"Aaaiiee! I am undone!... [stagger]... [reel]... [flop]... Rosebud!"
The body was later handed over to Kachua police.
"Doctor Quincy! To the white courtesy phone!"
Rab recovered a revolver, one light gun, four cartridges, two bullets and four sharp weapons from the spot.
We knew that.
