Rab on a roll: 2 killed in shootouts
2009-09-13
On a roll indeed. We didn't used to get reports so frequently.
[Bangla Daily Star] Two criminals, including one of the top-listed ringleaders of the capital, were shot dead in two separate "shootouts" with law enforces in the city and Khulna yesterday. They are Shahar Ali, 35, of East Monipur of Mirpur, and Farukh Khan, 32, of Banishanta union of Dakop upazila in Khulna.
They will be missed, since the Rab didn't miss...
As a Rab patrol team signalled a white microbus crossing Dhaka City Corporation office at Mirpur-10 to stop at 1:30am,
"Light 'em up, Clancy!"
the passengers tried to escape defying them,
"It's the Rab! We must escape! Open fire!"
Rab sources said. The criminals opened fire on the Rab personnel as the team chased them. The Rab team retaliated that ensued a gunfight.
One imagines a circus clown car but with bullets whizzing through the air in all directions. One apologizes for sharing this.
After the incident, Shahar Ali was found bullet-hit in head at the spot and sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where the doctor on duty declared him dead.
"He's dead, Jim!"
"Achieving a double tap behind the right ear using only stray bullets is quite an accomplishment, sergeant."
"Thank you, doctor. We've been practicing."
His accomplices, however, managed to flee the scene on the microbus.
On the microbus, not in it. Definitely a clown car.
An assistant sub-inspector of Rab was also injured in the gunfight, Rab sources said.
"Aaaiiieee!"
"What's the matter, sub-inspector!"
"A splinter, sir! It reeeeally hurts!"
"These things will happen when stray bullets fly, sub-inspector. Next time be more situationally aware."
"Yessir, sergeant! More aware, sir!"
Maj Khandaker Golam Sarwar of Rab-4 told The Daily Star that Ali was convicted in several cases including seven for murder with different police stations in the city.
"He had the death sentence on twelve systems!"
There are cases against Ali for realizing extortions from Shenpara, Rokeya Sarani, Shewrapara, Kazipara and Monipur, he added.
"Nice chapatti stand y'got here! Be a shame if it exploded some night!"
Earlier, the authorities concerned issued a red notice through Interpol as he was in neighbouring countries at large for long time, police said.
A real badman wanted in many, many systems.
So much for Shahar Ali. What's the story with Farukh Khan, the Scourge of Dakop upazila?
In another incident, a notorious pirate
"Aaaarrr!"
of the Sundarbans was killed at about 12:30am on the bank of river Bhadra under Dakop upazila of Khulna district.
That's a bit early for your run-of-the-mill encounter...
Farukh was accused in two murder cases, two robbery cases and three other cases under arms act filed with Dakop and Koira police stations.
Only two systems, but lots of badacting.
"He wuz a pirate, he wuz!"
On information, police went to the spot as a group of pirates were preparing for looting on Bhadra riverways, Officer-in-charge of Dakop Police Station Ziauzzam said. Police fired 13 rounds as they came under attack.
"Batten the mains'l! Splice the jib! Hoist the Jolly Roger!"
Ah. It's not an Rab report, but the police striking out on their own. See if you can spot the differences.
After the incident, Farukh was found dead on the spot.
"Which spot?"
"That spot."

Two policemen, constables Biddut and Babul, sustained injuries in the incident. They are undergoing treatment at Dakop upazila health complex.
"Owwwww!"
"Oh, shuddup! Don't be a baby!"
"Am I gonna lose the nail, doc?"
"Prob'ly. Take your hand outta the car door before you close it next time!"

Police recovered a shutter gun, a pipe gun, four used shells and two bullets from the spot.
"Arrrrr! They missed me cannon!"
"Shuddup. You're dead!"

Two separate cases, one for assaulting police and another under arms act, were filed with Dakop Police Station yesterday.

#3  One apologizes for sharing this

And us other ones apologize for laughing at it. After all, no man is an island...any man's death diminishes me... Nah, we're still laughing.

#2  I noticed they listed both "Shells"
(presumably Shotgun)and "Bullets".

#1  A shutter gun AND a pipe gun AND two bullets -- that's quite a haul! I'm not an insider -- did Fred used to work with Bangladeshis or did he just stumble upon the delightful RAB through his extensive reading?
