Mugger shot in gunfight with Rab
 [Bangla Daily Star] An alleged mugger was shot in a 'shootout' between Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) and his gang early yesterday at Basila in the city's Mohammadpur area.
Mohammad Alal, 32, of Tajmahal Road was shot in his left leg and was admitted to National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (Pongu Hospital).
| National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation?? That's got to be a 1,000 bed hospital for B-desh. Is it next to the National Institute for Sudden Death and Acute Cirrhosis? |
A gang of three muggers stopped plain-clothed members of Rab-2
| Oh, bad news, Mahmoud, we stopped the wrong guys today... |
in front of MD Motor Workshop at Basila when they were patrolling the area on a rickshaw around 1:10 am, police said.
| A rickshaw? The RAB can't even afford good wheels? They should all be driving Escalades! |
"Muggers opened fire on them, compelling the Rab members to retaliate," said Siraj Ud Dowla, sub-inspector (SI) of Mohammadpur Police Station.
Rab found Alal injured while his cohorts managed to flee, added the SI.
| They're soon going to find Alal dead with one behind each ear while lying in a road next to a banana grove in some unnamed upazaila you could never find on a map. But perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself. |
The law enforcers recovered a shotgun and a cleaver from his possession.
Alal is wanted in two cases filed with Mohammadpur Police Station, claimed Siraj Ud Dowla.
