Top outlaw killed in Rab 'shootout'
2008-10-13
Rony Biswas, founder of the outlawed Communist Juddho, one of the factions of Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-ML), was killed in a 'shootout' between Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) and police and the cadres of the outfit in Chuadanga early yesterday.
Nailed a big shot Purbo!
The incident occurred at Kumari village under Alamdanga upazila in Chuadanga.
We have no idea where that is.
Rony founded the Communist Juddho, in May, 2005 and unleashed a reign of terror in 10 southwestern districts.
Makes you wonder if the Biplobis were unleashing terror in the northeast ...
One of the top outlawed figures in the region, ...
Congrats Rony on the high honor, oh, and condolences to your mother ...
... Rony fled Chuadanga soon after a state of emergency was clamped nationwide and took shelter in Savar. Sources said he worked as a salesman in a shoe shop there.
Yeah, shoe salesman, RAB will never look there ...
Police and intelligence officials learnt that he recently returned to Chuadanga and was trying to re-organise his party ahead of the upcoming parliamentary and upazila elections.
Just a 'community organizer', was he ...
Early yesterday, a team from Alamdanga police station led by Officer-In-Charge (OC) Kazi Jalal Uddin Ahmed and Rab-6, Chuadanga in-Charge Captain Faisal raided the Veterinary Training Institute (VTI) in Kumari village at around 3:30 am ...
Many thanks to Mahmoud the Weasel ...
... where Rony was holding a meeting with his men.
Couldn't find a grove of trees?
The outlawed cadres opened fire on the law enforcers ...
Using paper bullets that left no marks for ballistics ...
... prompting them to retaliate.
RAB always does ...
Rony was killed on the spot ...
"Which spot?"
"THAT spot!"
... but his accomplices managed to escape.
As if they were never there in the first place.
Police recovered two Shutter guns and 10 bullets from the scene.
TWO shutter guns? You mean there's more than one?
Rony is an accused in at least twelve systems 50 cases, including 20 for murder, filed with different police stations.
So his mother didn't love him anymore.

#9  Three is not the speed of light. Google "four shutter guns"!

#8  Could it be possible that they're now using the phrase to refer to something like a "zip gun," or improvised firearm?

#7  I heard tell once of an "encounter" with three shutterguns recovered, but I don't believe it. That's the stuff of legends

#6  Thank you, dear USN, Ret. The prospect of two shutterguns evokes the poetical soul.

#5  Such eloquent words TW...
brought a tear to my eye, so they did.

#4  Yes, Dr. Steve, I will accept that as proof positive that a second shutter gun does exist. However, I would very much appreciate if someone would post photos of the various weapons mentioned in RAB reports. I keep picturing ancient muskets liberally chased with tarnished silver, so rusted that to actually attempt to shoot the thing would result in the blinding or death of the shooter... or contrariwise a collector's piece stored wrapped in velvet, only taken out to impress the dead accused's fingerprints upon the handle that they might be legitimately added to the prosecution's file before reverently wiping the piece clean and returning it to the safe.

#3  TWO shutter guns? You mean there's more than one?

Could the second one be a mock-up, used to train RAB newbies? I don't think there possibly could be TWO shutter guns, this simply doesn't make any sense at all. Typo or mock-up.

#2  No, his mother loved him, she just didn't put any lights on their Christmas tree.

WHEW! For minute I thought somebody killed a driver from The World of Outlaws. heh

#1  The incident occurred at Kumari village under Alamdanga upazila in Chuadanga.

Dr. Steve: "We have no idea where that is."

perhaps it's Shipman divided by .5MT?

or maybe its the square root of Sponge Bob...?

...YEP! ~<:)
