The deceased was identified as Md Hasan alias Mohammoidya, 32, an accused of a case of looting Tk 30 lakh of Islami Bank and another case of snatching Tk 24 lakh from a businessman recently.
Police arrested Hasan from Agrabad area on Wednesday morning.
"Morning Hassan, nice day, ain't it? Enjoy it while you can"
On the basis of his confession...
Ouch! Say...are those Craftsman brand pliers?'
they went to a hill at Khulshi area to arrest his accomplices. As they reached the spot the cohorts of Hasan opened fire on them..
Yar, we're the Dread Cohorts of Hassan! Die, coppers!"
forcing the law enforcers to fire back.
BANG! BANG! BANGBANGBANGBANG!

"Feet don't..ouch..ouch....rosebud!"

Ansar commander gunned down
Some unidentified assailants gunned down an Ansar and VDP commander in broad daylight in the city's Hajaribagh area on Thursday. The dead was identified as Insaf Ali (50), Ansar commander of Ward No 48 and police informer.
Police informer is an official job title? Who knew?
Police and witnesses said a group of terrorists numbering five to six pounced on Ali as soon as he came out of his Shantanghar residence at about 7:45 am.
I guess they knew...
The gangsters fired gunshots indiscriminately, leaving Ali dead. At least six to seven bullets pierced through his chest, mouth and back.
That sounds like pretty discriminate shooting to me
Hit by bullets, the victim fell on the ground in a pool of blood. Immediately, the bullet-riddled Ali was taken to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where the attending doctors declared him dead.
"He's dead, Jim"
When contacted Hajaribagh police station on Thursday afternoon did not say anything about the motive of the grisly murder. Local people suspected that Ali, also security in-change of a local shopping complex, might have been killed as he was a police source.
Well, duh!
The victim was father of five children — four daughters and a son. A case was filed with Hajaribagh police in this connection, but none was arrested so far.
