3 killed in Ctg ‘gunfight' with Rab
 [BanglaNews24] Three alleged
| ...alleged?? Since when do RAB junior officers tasked with writing up the reports use weaselly pseudo-legal vocabulary like alleged? |
robbers were killed in a reported gunfight with members of Rapid Action Batalion (RAB) in Sitakunda upazila
| ...it’s somewhere on the 10:1 map folded up in the file in the last file cabinet in the back of the third sub-basement. Get it out to the airport on a sunny, windless day to unfold, and you’ll be able to find it if you bring a strong magnifying glass.... |
early on Tuesday (Oct 29).
| It was zero dark thirty, when all the good citizens were snuggly asleep in their beds, snoring disharmoniously. Suddenly, in the silence, the sound of a single shot rang out... |
Through Rab claimed that three deceased were inter-district robbers but could not identify them.
| Wanted in nine systems, they wuz — and in the end not even their mothers wanted them. |
Squadron Leader Shafayat Jamil Fahim, the deputy commander of RAB-7, confirmed that three people were killed in the 'gun battle' with the elite force.
| *Bang bang bangetty-bang* And when the bodies were found afterward, they had each been randomly shot behind the right ear. |
RAB-7 Assistant Director (Media)
| ...good lord — how many assistant directors do RABs have nowadays? |
said in a SMS that the gunfight occurred between inter-district robbers and the patrol team of RAB in the Chhota Kumira area of the upazila early in the morning.
| It was zero dark forty-five when the silence returned, but the good citizens were carefully deaf to all but their own snores when the RAB men observed the bodies on the X-marked spot where all the gunfights have been occurring recently... |
Later, three bullet-riddled bodies, two firearms with a foreign pistol, 12 rounds bullets and two sharp weapons were recovered from the scene.
Apparently, some firearms come equipped with a foreign pistol for backup.
| Interesting things can be found between encounters in the velvet-lined cases in Sergeant Rafiq’s evidence room. |
