One more killed in crossfire
NARSINGDI, May 11: An alleged terrorist was killed in a shootout between RAB and his cohorts in Kararchar BSCIC area under Shibpur upazila of the district at about 3 pm today (Wednesday). The deceased was identified as Nazmul Hoque (30), son of Nazir Sareng of village Malita of Shibpur upazila. On a secret information RAB arrested Nazmul from BSCIC area and on the basis of his confession they took him to a place to recover arms.
Need to work on a new story, this meme is getting old.
When they reached the spot at about 3 pm
Wait a minute! 3 p.m.? It was light outside?
Lunar eclipse?
the accomplices of Nazmul opened fire forcing the RAB members to return the fire. Nazmul was hit in the crossfire when he tried to flee and died on the spot.
"Achhhh...rosebud..."
RAB also arrested injured Sohel and Dulal. RAB said they recovered one pistol from Nazmul.
Ummm... Nazmul was the guy in custody, right?
The body of Nazmul was kept in the morgue of Narsingdi hospital for autopsy.
"Another one, Dr. Quincy!"

UNB adds: A JCD activist was killed and two others were wounded in 'crossfire' during an encounter with RAB at Kararchar BSCIC industrial estate. Nazmul (32), vice-president Char Sindhur union unit of the student wing of the ruling party, died on the spot getting caught in the crossfire at about 3 pm. His two colleagues in the JCD—Sohel of Balia village in Palash and Dulal of Bagdi area — were wounded and arrested. Injured Sohel and Dulal were sent to Dhaka Medical College for treatment.
"Aaaiiieee! Ow! Ow! Ouch!"
"What do we have here?"
"Coupla wounded colleagues, Doc! Can you have 'em patched up by early morning? They're gonna show us where the arms cache is!"
"Mom! I wanna call my Mom!"
Initial report said the boys were allegedly selling arms.
"Hey, lady! Ya wanna buy a gun?"
"As a RAB patrol team challenged them, they opened fire trying to flee. In the exchange of fire Nazmul died," the sources said in a spot account of the shootout.
OK, that's a better story.
A case was filed with Narsingdi thana.
