More tales from the Bengali Police Blotter (Saturday edition)
 CHUADANGA:May 26: An alleged criminal was shot dead in a gunfight between the police and his armed accomplices at a crop field in village Shaimary under Sadar upazila of the district in the early hours of Thursday.
| Shootout in the soybeans! Battle of the beets! Hoe-down in the hay! |
The deceased was identified as Foroz Ali (46), son of Sunnot Ali of village Shaimary in the upazila. He was accused in at least six cases under different police stations.
| And we'd know his face anywhere! |
Acting on a tip-off, a police team of Chuadanga thana and the members of Cobra, an elite police force, raided the crop field where Foroz and his accomplices were holding a meeting.
| "I'm telling ya, Chief, they're making crop circles out there!" |
The armed men opened fire sensing presence of the police, which the law-enforcers retaliated prompting a gunfight between them.
| "I sense a disturbance in the Force. Let's start shooting!" |
About 20 gunshots were traded in the battle that lasted for half an hour.
| That's one shot every 90 seconds. A real fire-fight in the alfalfa. |
Foroz was hit by bullet although his accomplices managed to flee the scene.
| "Hey you guys, wait for m..... [shhhiiikoink] rosebud ..." |
One shutter gun and five rounds of bullet were recovered from the spot.
Later, Foroz's body was taken to the Chuadanga Hospital morgue for autopsy.
| "Tag him and slab him, Sam." |
A case was filed with the Chuadanga police in his connection.
| "Here you go, Chief, everything's ready for your signature!" |
