Tales from the Crossfire Gazette (Saturday edition)
 Sept 30: A suspected terror was killed in a shootout between RAB and his cohorts at Dharmashur early today. The dead was identified as Bachchu Khan, 28, a newly-deceased son of Quader Khan of Samki village under Dohar thana and also a local Awami League leader.
RAB-2 sources said they arrested Bachchu from Islampur under Dohar thana at 10am on Thursday.
| "C'mon Bachchu, youse comin' wit us." |
They interrogated him after his arrest.
"Um, um, um, is that a .. a .. fireplace po-o-o-oker?"
"Yep, and it's red-hot!"
"Um, may I confess now?" |
During the interrogation, Bachchu told the RAB members that his group would commit a robbery in Keraniganj Friday night.
| "Yes, we're going to rob some place in K-town. Now please put that down!" |
According to his statement, when RAB took him to Dharmashur at 3am ...
| ... the true sign of the RAB at work ... |
... the cohorts of Bachchu opened fire on them, ...
| "Cheez, it's the RAB! Open random, aimless fire!" |
... forcing the elite force to fire back.
Bachchu was caught in the shootout and died on the spot.
| "He's dead, Jim. Tag him and slab him!" |
One cut-rifle, one shooter gun and six rounds of bullet were recovered from the spot.
| "Hmm, look at that. This rifle has a cut in it." |
However, local Awami League leaders alleged that Bachchu Khan was killed in a planned way.
| Naah, what would make you think that? |
Dohar thana police said Bachchu was wanted in five cases.
| Only five? No wonder the Crossfire Gazette has been slim lately. |
