and drug peddlers hit him at Boubazar of Fatullah in Narayanganj last night, police said.| Said so casually that it must be on the map, somewhere. If you find it, let us know. |
Deceased Shuvo was a class-X student of Pagla High School.
| Not a madrassah, so his family can afford state school fees, not to mention keeping a son out of the work force through his teen years. |
| May the child heal well and quickly, not ending up in the tender care of Dr. Quincy and his assistant, Jim. |
| This is why crossfires and such are conducted at three in the morning, when all good citizens are snug in their beds, unlikely to be caught by stray bullets in the street. Are the Rab working double shifts again or did they happen across the drug peddlers while picking up chai and spiced nuts for the crew at the station house? |
Shuvo was struck down in his prime being hit in the chin and his brother received a bullet in the leg, Ainul Haq said. Their home is close to the spot.
Shuvo's body was sent to a Narayanganj hospital.
| "Paging Dr. Quincy. Dr. Quincy to the white courtesy phone." |
...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase...
mother of the two Rahima Begum told news agency UNB that Shuvo and Sohag were returning home along with Badal after buying chanachur from a shop.
She heard gunfire and rushed out looking for her sons. But to her astonishment she saw her two sons and Badal lying in a poll of blood on the road, the news agency said.
| Mothers never expect to see that. |
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
Captain Nazmul, who led the Rab team, told The Daily Star that they fired a single shot during the drive.
| A single shot, in a shootout? That seems a bit... frugal. |
| It seems the men had stubbed their toes. They'll be fine. But the drug peddlers disappeared from the scene as if they'd never been. So much easier to to when uninjured because the authorities only fired a single shot between them. |
