Tales from the Crossfire Gazette (weekend edition)
 MUNSHIGANJ, Mar 3: A top terror of Dhaka city was killed in an encounter between his cohorts and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) at Sreedharpur of Shekharnagar here early Friday, reports UNB.
| I think they use Fred's name generator on their towns. |
The deceased was identified as Kala Faruk, 45, son of Chunnu Miah of Baroikhali village in Sreenagar Upazila. He was wanted on twelve systems in a double murder and other criminal cases, police said.
| And his mother definitely didn't love him. |
RAB arrested Faruk from his village home along with his one accomplice Pappu Thursday morning and recovered a gun from his possession.
| "Hoo boy, youse carrying a gun 'round here Kala? That's going to cost youse. Why don't youse come wit us to the station." |
According to his gibbering confessional statement, RAB took him to Shekharnagar, 50 km away from the town, at about 5 am to recover hidden arms.
| A little late in the morning, but they had the travel time -- wonder if the RAB gets a mileage allowance? |
As soon as the law enforcers along with Faruk reached nearby Sreedharpur, his cohorts opened fire on the elite force forcing them to return the fire.
| And no one got hit. It's like an Italian war movie. |
Faruk was caught in the encounter while trying to flee and died on the spot, said the elite force.
| The RAB sensibly decided that no autopsy was needed, since they had already established, as it were, the cause of death. |
RAB recovered one pistol and one shutter gun from the spot.
| After which the shutter gun was carefully put back into its molded case. |
