[Bangla Daily Star] Two outlaws were killed in separate 'shootouts' between their cohorts and law enforcers in Kushtia and Khulna districts early yesterday. Two policemen were also injured during the gunfight in Khulna.
A hernia and a bruised ego ...
| The latter can be quite painful. You know where it's kept, right? |
Oh yeah, a New Biplobi, one of our favorites right next to the Old Biplobis ...
| I know the various Biplobis are splintering communist groups, but what on earth is the GMF? |
From what I can make out, they're commies, too. A "bahini" is either an "armed wing" or a two piece bathing suit, I'm not sure which. A "fouz" is a "faction" or a "brigade." Gono Mukhti seems to translate to something like "Baader-Meinhof" or possibly "cheese souffle," depending on which Bengali-English dictionary you use.
Our Kushtia correspondent reports, Amirul ...
alias Amirul ...
... was killed in a 'shoot out' between his associates and police at Bittipara village in sadar upazila early yesterday.
We have no idea where that is ...
| Old Patriot need only unfold his 1:15 map across four football fields to find it. I think it's printed on that NASA stuff, so it's water and snow proof. Also vacuum proof, but very susceptible to micrometeorite punctures. But I digress... |
But where? Schoolyard? Pineapple field? Secret lair in the woods?
| Bittipara field is clearly where they grow bittiparas. Lovely flowers, like a chicory field in bloom, but really grown for the seeds, which are used as an aphrodisiac in accordance with traditional folk medicine. An odd sort of tradition, because it is counterproductive, weakening rather than strengthening... Anyway, very popular with the local women, who give it to new brides to be used as needed.* |
| And one suspects it is needed rather frequently when living with the Biplobis |
"Youse'll never take us alive, coppers!"
and opened fire
[BANG! BAANG! BANGETY BANG!]
forcing them to fire back, police said.
"If it's not too much trouble, would youse come out wit yer handz up?"
| "and your guns down" |
"Chief! Could we speed this up? The wife's holding breakfast for me!"
Amirul was caught in the line of fire
"Aaaiiieee!"
and died on the spot.
"They're being rude by failing to RSVP, sergeant. Open fire!" The leader can't rely on his charges to protect him. Funny how that works.
| *wipes tear* My work here is done. |
"Our leader is undone! Let us decamp!"
Police recovered one LG gun and four bullets from the spot.
Commies dole out ammo by the eyedropper, just like they try to do in the US!
Amirul was accused in 12
Wanted in eight systems.
Our staff correspondent in Khulna reports: Nirapada Bairagi was killed in a shootout between his associates and police around 3:10am at Ranai village of Dumuria upazila in Khulna yesterday.
"Sergeant Fauzul, we're doing a double tonight. Have your squad ready at 3:10 am and not a moment later!"
"Yessir!" [stamp]
He was the son of Shannashi Bairagi of Sajiarha village of the upazila.
"Aye! He wuz a good boy! Loved 'is mudder, seldom kicked 'is dog!"
Fauzul Kabir, officer-in-charge of Dumuria Police Station, said the law enforcers raided the spot following a tip-off that some outlaws were holding a secret meeting.
| ring ring "Yes?" "Da deal is goin'down, 3:15 in the bittipara field." "Hokay" ring ring "Mamoud, this is Fauzul down at the police station. Would you mind scooting your chair back a little? We can't get a good scope view of Nirapada with you so close ..." |
| Gotta pay for piano lessons somehow, dontchaknow. |
"My spider sense! It's, dunno, ...tingling! ?"
"Sure it's not your leg?"
"Maybe... Nope, its the coppers!"
At one stage, the outlaws fled the scene leaving Nirapada dead.
Sux to be Nirapada. His security chief sux even worse!
According to Khulna police super, two policemen received bullets in their legs during the 35-minute long gunfight. They are undergoing treatment at the Dumuria Health Complex.
Lieutenant said 'Lock and load' not load and lock. Morons!
The outlaws fired twenty shots while police retaliated and fired 11 rounds in self-defence, police super added.
Its range time for the RAB. One dead bad guy and some friendly fire casualties.
One behind each of Nirapada's ears, that leaves nine shots unaccounted ...
| All that [bang, bang, bangety bang!] takes bullets, too. |
Police recovered a shutter gun, three cartridges, a rifle bullet and five empty shells from the scene.
"Careful with that shutter gun, Sergeant Rafiq! That's an expensive finish!"
"We had to leave the velvet-lined case at the lock-up, sir!"
The deceased was wanted in several murder, kidnapping and dacoity cases, OC added.
| And the amazing thing about the dacoity charges is that he isn't even a member of Congress |
| *Almost forgot. I made up all that stuff about bittipara. I wouldn't want to start an international incident because Google somehow got hold of that "information". |
| ummm ... too late, good tw. Your comment shows up at the top of Google search results for 'bittipara' ... I suspect it will take awarding the Nobel prize in horticulture to Michelle Obama to soothe the international outrage this will trigger. |
| As of 11:00 a.m. the top two items. I'll serve tea and cake overlooking the garden, analogous to President Obama's beer among the roses, only it's really too cool now to sit outside. That should fix things. |
