Tales from the Crossfire Gazette
 A top criminal of the city was killed during a "shootout" between the members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) and his cohorts at C & B road early morning.
The deceased, Ratan Mridha, 40, was the second-in-command of notorious "Tera Shajahan" gang. He was wanted in nine cases including two for murder. | Another job opening for "Number 2", apply at Monster.com. |
Rab sources said they arrested Ratan and two other criminals--Ripon and Dulal--at Hotel Metropolitan at Gulistan in the capital on Saturday and took them to Barisal the following day for quizzing.

On the statements of the arrestees, "Ratan did it!"
"Yeah, he's responsible, Dulal and me are just innocent bystanders" |
a RAB team took Ratan to C & B road area of Barisal city at around 3:30am yesterday to arrest his accomplices and recover the hidden firearms. Sensing the presence of the Rab team, Ratan's cohorts opened fire, forcing the law enforcers to retaliate. | "Hark! I smell doughnuts, it's da law! Open fire or we're dun for!" |
According to Rab, Ratan received bullets during the "shootout" and died on the spot. One gun and two cartridges were recovered from the spot.
