Tales from the Crossfire Gazette
 An alleged outlaw and suspect of Bamihal police killing and arms loot incident was killed in 'crossfire' between the members of the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) and his accomplices in Singra upazila of Natore early yesterday.
| No, I don't know where that is. |
Rab members arrested Nazrul Islam of Bias Union in Singra upazila at Amin Bazar in Dhaka on the night of January 16 and took him to a Rab camp in Natore, said a Rab press release yesterday evening.
| "Come with us, Nazrul, we wanna have a chat with you." |
On his confessional statement, ...
| ... aided as always by Mr. Pliers and Detective Vise-grips ... |
... a Rab team set out for Bias Union at about 2:30am yesterday, taking Nazrul with them.
| They certainly weren't going to leave him behind. |
When they reached Ratal Dighipara area, Nazrul's accomplices opened fire on the Rab men, ...
| ... said accomplices having no fire discipline and worse aim ... |
... prompting them to retaliate.
| Prompting the accomplices to flee, leaving Nazrul to suffer his fate alone ... |
Rab said Nazrul was shot as he tried to flee during the shootout.
| One would say his feets failed him, but getting shot in the back of the head from eighteen inches isn't conducive to fleeing ... |
He was rushed to Singra Health Complex ...
| ... not a Level One trauma center, though it wouldn't have mattered if it had been ... |
... where the doctors declared him dead.
| Where Dr. Quincy was happy to leave the case until the morning. |
Nazrul was convicted and charge sheeted in a number of cases including three for murder, according to Rab press release.
| Which means his mother didn't even love him anymore. |
A shutter gun, three bullets and five cartridges were recovered from the scene.
| After which the shutter gun was put back carefully in the police lockup so as to be conveniently available for tomorrow night's crossfire. |
