 A ringleader of an inter-district gang of robbers was killed in an encounter between his cohorts and police at Bholaganj in Companiganj upazila of Sylhet district early yesterday.

The robber, Kadir, was arrested in Bholaganj area on Sunday.
| "Yez got me, coppers! Don't shoot!" |
On his confessional statement, the law enforcers took him to a place in the same area at about 3:00 am yesterday to arrest his accomplices and recover the looted goods.
| "Yeah, really! They're at the hideout! They'll be asleep by now! It's 3 in the morning! So youse guys can just... Whuddya mean, I gotta come, too?" |
Sensing presence of the policemen,
| "Hark, Mahmoud! I sense the presence of law enforcers!" |
the cohorts of the ringleader opened fire,
| "Take that, coppers! And that! And that! Hahah!" |
forcing the police to retaliate.
Police said Kadir, wanted in 12 systems cases, was caught in the crossfire while trying to flee and died on the spot.
"Aaaiiiieeee! Rosebud!"
"Oh. Sorry. My bad!" |
This is the first incident of death in 'crossfire' with police in the district.
| Wow. It wasn't RAB this time. That is news. |
