Criminal killed in Rab 'crossfire'
A criminal died in 'crossfire' between police and his associates early yesterday in Shibchar of Madaripur while in the capital, two alleged muggers were injured in an encounter with Rapid Action Battalion. Police said they arrested Abdus Salam alias Chika Salam, charged with kidnapping and murdering two police officers in Madaripur, at Paikpara of Rajoir upazila. Killed a couple of cops, did he? My crystal ball predicts a untimely demise. |
Following his statements under interrogation, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!" | a Detective Branch of police team took him to Utrail market to recover firearms.
"Quit blubbering, Salam. We're taking a short trip" | But as they reached there, Salam's men started firing at them. At one stage, After they rolled him out of cars trunk | Salam got shot... and died on the spot while two constables of Shibchar Police Station were injured. "Dammit, I told you, lift with your legs, not your back" | Police recovered a homemade pipe gun and 12 bullets from the scene.
In Beribandh area of Mohammadpur, the two 'muggers' were injured when a shooting broke out between the members of Rab-4 and a gang in the early hours yesterday. The injured identified as Mohammad Nadim, 28, and Md Mizanur Rahman, hailed from Shekhertek of Mohammadpur. They were admitted to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH).
Rab-4 Commander Saber Sharif told BDNEWS that they arrested the two with a pistol and four bullets at Mohammadpur on Sunday evening. Following leads extracted from them, a Rab team took the arrestees to the Beribandh area at about 4:00am to recover hidden arms and nab the rest of the muggers' gang.
It's in the manual, all searches are to take place in the dark of night | But, the criminals opened fire on the RAB personnel when they reached the north side of Martyred intellectual graveyard at Rayer Bazar. I swear, we don't make up these names | RAB replied with the gunshots in a counter attack, which sparked a bloody gun battle between the gangsters and the RAB members. Both sides traded more than one hundred rounds of bullet during the shootout that continued for more than half an hour. OK, now that's what I call a gunfight | Mizan and Nasim received serious bullet injuries in their legs during the gunfight. Almost sounds like they were "knee-capped" | But other criminals managed to escape the scene. They always vanish without leaving a trace | RAB later recovered a single barrel Shutter Gun and some bullets from the spot. Would that be the same homemade pipe gun and 12 bullets dropped earlier? |
Mizanur Rahman and Nasim Uddin were admitted to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) under police custody. |
