Outlaw killed in shootout
2010-03-22
[Bangla Daily Star] A regional leader of outlawed Gono Mukti Fouz
... aka, the Fonz ...
... was killed in a 'shootout' between his cohorts and law enforcers at Gobinpur village in Kumarkhali upazila of Kushtia early yesterday.
You couldn't find that upazila on a 1:100,000 map ...
The dead was identified as Abdul Khaleq alias Jhoru, 35, son of Ali Hossain of Chapra in Kumarkhali.
So Khaleq got kakked ...
A joint team of Kumarkhali police and Detective Branch, acting on a tip-off, raided a banana orchard at about 2:25am where Khaleq and his men were holding a secret meeting.
Who in the world has a secret meeting in a banana orchard? But at least it was about the right time of night.
Sensing presence of the police,
"Hark! My spider-sense is tingling!"
the gang opened fire on lawenforcers prompting them to fire back that triggered a gunbattle.
Even though the forensics team won't find a single round of bullet embedded in a single Chiquita ...
At one stage, the cohorts of Khaleq managed to flee the scene.
As if they were never there in the first place ...
Later, police found the bullet-hit body of Khaleq lying on the ground.
Right where the coppers left him with one behind each ear. Good thing they knew where to look ...
Police recovered one light gun, six bullets and a sharp weapon from the spot.
"Hey Sarge! This gun is awfully light!"
Officer-In-Charge of Kumrakhali Police Station Atiar Rahman said eight general diaries have been lodged with the police station accusing Khaleq of extortion in last one year. Khaleq was also wanted in twelve systems seven cases, including three for murder, police said.
So it's not like his mother loved him ...
