Member of 'Gangchil Bahini' killed in encounter with RAB
 A terror and member of the notorious 'Gangchil Bahini' was killed early Sunday in a gunfight with Rapid Action Battalion personnel in Savar area on the outskirts of the capital.
| The 'Gangchil Bahini' is apparently a criminal gang with little known political activity. |
The deceased was identified as Rafiqul Islam Azad alias Sumon, 25, son of Abul Kalam Azad, of Darus Salam in Dhaka.
| And an unnamed mother who no longer loves him ... |
"Sumon was the main accused of the cases of Savar Thana SI Motiur Rahman murder in 2002 and the double-murder of two RAB members at Amin bazar brickfield in 2007," said a RAB release.
| Whacked a couple RAB boys? Oh I'll bet this was a sweet 'encounter' for them ... |
| Whacked the coppers at Amin bazar brickfield...mebbe there *was* a real-live "crossfire" for once... |
It said Sumon was an active member of 'Gangchil Bahini' and wanted on twelve systems in various cases involving murders and arms.
Acting on secret information,
| Tip o' the hat to Mahmoud the Weasel ... |
... a patrol team of RAB-4 raided NR Filling Station the gang stormed to commit dacoity at about 2:30am.
| "Hey! Youse guys won't be committing dacoity around here!" |
Sensing the presence of the elite force,
| "Hark! My spider-sense is tingling!" |
... the robbers tried to flee,
| "No time for dacoity, boys! Head for the hills!" |
... and fired on the RAB men as they chased the suspects for capture.
| Shooting at the RAB while they run away. Real smart. |
The RAB members also fired back for their protection, triggering a gun-battle.
| Um no, the 'gun-battle', such as it was, was triggered by the dacoits ... |
"At one stage of the exchange of gunfire, the terrorists retreated from the place, leaving behind Sumon in critical condition," said the RAB release dictating narrating the late-night encounter.
"Cheez, Sarge, he looks critical."
"Yeah, throw him in the ox-cart and rush him to Savar Thana."
"That's clear across town, Sarge! He'll be dead by then!"
"I know. Get going!" |
The RAB members in association with local people rescued and sent Sumon to Savar Thana Health Complex where doctors declared him dead, it added.
"He's dead. What took you guys so long?"
"We brought him in an ox-cart." |
A pistol, two bullets, two machetes and two knives were recovered from the scene.
| No shutter gun? I'm disappointed. |
| No lowly country-made weapons on the outskirts of Dhaka, nosiree. Only the high-quality boughten ones. It's in the zoning regs, on down to the courthouse. |
