One killed in Rab 'shootout' |
2011-03-01 |
[Bangla Daily Star] A listed criminal was killed in a 'shootout' between his accomplices and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) in Companyganj upazila of the district early yesterday, police said. 'Company ganj' maybe? Perhaps the Great Wall of Ganj Company? Acme Company, Ganj Division? The dead, Kamrul Hasan Tipu, 40, was accused in 12 So his mother didn't love him. Police said Tipu was a listed criminal and the leader of a gang named 'Tipu Bahini.' But was he an 'A-list' criminal? Acting on a tip-off, Boy, that Mahmoud the Weasel sure has been a busy fellow... a team of Rab-11 went to Dakshin Misapur village at about 3:00am Right after they plugged him and loaded his body in the truck... where Tipu and his cohorts were preparing to rob a house. So they say... Sensing their presence, My spider sense! It's tingling again! To arms! Aux barricades! the criminals shot up the elite force members, prompting them to retaliate. [BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!] Tipu was caught in the line of fire and was struck down in his prime though his cohorts managed to flee the scene. ... as though they had never been... said police. Rab recovered three firearms and some bullets from the spot. No shutter gun for Tipu... Two Rab members Havilder Shafiqul Islam and Havilder Dilip Barua - were also slightly injured during the 'shootout' and received primary treatment from the local upazila health complex. A hernia and a bruised ego... |

#4 The shutter gun hasn't appeared in any story for a long time now. I get the idea some lamebrain lost it or broke it. |

#3 As far as I can tell from a quick google search, the various Bahinis are the remnants of the Bangladeshi guerrilla forces trained by India to fight in the 1971 revolt against Pakistan. Presumably by now they are straightforward criminal gangs like the various Maoist ones. |
