Man jumps from hotel, dies
2009-12-15
[Bangla Daily Star] A man jumped from the third floor of a residential hotel and died on the spot during a Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) drive early yesterday.

The deceased was identified as Anwar Hossain, 28, an alleged sex-workers' agent in the hotel
The deceased was identified as Anwar Hossain, 28, an alleged sex-workers' agent in the hotel, Lodge Inn, at Kakoli in Gulshan.

Officer-in-charge (OC) Kamal Uddin of Gulshan Police Station said Anwar jumped to the rail lines behind the hotel and died on the spot while a team of Rab-1 was conducting drives at the hotel and another one, Dhaka Inn, adjacent to it around 1:00am.

The Rab team, on a tip off, raided the hotels and arrested 12 men and nine women allegedly involved in unsocial activities there.
Unsocial activities are what the Rab hate the most. Except for the Biplobi communists, who are entirely too social...
The OC said on information they recovered Anwar's body from the rail lines and sent it to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy.

#8  They threw him from the third-story window, and he died?

He was pretty fragile for a pimp.

#5  Sex-workers' agent, huh? Sounds like they engaged in very social activities. Maybe the RAB was on an anti social-diseases drive...

#4  "Sex-worker agent?" I believe we have another name for that line of employment in Georgia.

Last time I was there it was pronounced "Sister."

#3  Don't bother, you'll not find the Lodge Inn Kakoli in Condé Nast Traveler's Room With A View. "Sex-worker agent?" I believe we have another name for that line of employment in Georgia.

#2  Well, this is a change for the RAB! It's the right time, and the right sort of raid. But no rounds of bullet? And defenestration as a method? Someone's getting creative, or maybe they got the memo about fewer crossfires needed.
