June 20: Alleged extremist leaders Babul Karim Chandu (40) and Shooter Jamal were killed in Rapid Action Battalion's (RAB) crossfire incidents in Kushtia and Pabna districts.
A professional serial killer and commander of underground Naxalite Party of Faridpur under Pabna, Babul Karim alias Chandu, was killed in gunfight with the members of RAB-5 at village Ramarama under Bagmara upazila of Rajshahi Sunday night. Sources in the RAB said Chandu was taken to RAB office in Rajshahi for interrogation after he was arrested from his own village Badal. | "Youse coming down to the office, Chandu!" |
When quizzed, | "The 9 inch visegrips, please." |
he said that his associates, including top-ranking leaders and activists of the party, have been hiding at Bagmara area and continuing the party activities secretly. Based on his confessional statement, RAB members along with Chandu went to Bagmara at round about 11:45pm Saturday in a bid to arrest his cohorts and recover firearms and ammunitions. | 11:45pm? That's early for them. Must have a date later. |
As soon as they reached near the house of a local chairman at village Ramrama under Bagmara upazila, a gang of unidentified robbers... | Not his cadre? That's a new meme |
intercepted the RAB convoy and attacked with gun shots prompting the RAB members retaliate that resulted in a 10-minute gunfight. | Humm, normally they last for an hour. Must have a new script vwriter |
Chandu was caught in crossfire when he tried to flee from the spot. | "Feet don't....Ouch, rosebud " |
Later, the RAB members found him lying on the C&B metalled road in a critical condition with severe bullet injuries. | Another new storyline, the new guy is much more creative |
He was rushed to Bagmara Health Complex, but the attending doctors declared him dead. | I'm telling ya, get him to the Chittagong University Medical Center Level 1 Trauma Unit and ... he'll still die. |
One Shooter gun was recovered from the spot. | Found out "shooter gun" is a shotgun. |
Sources concerned said Chandu was a serial killer as he was allegedly accused in at least 13 murder cases. | They use "serial killer" diferently than we do. Chandu sounds more like a murderous gangster than a Ted Bundy |
