2 alleged robbers killed in ‘gunfight’ with RAB
2016-04-19
[Dhaka Tribune] Two alleged robbers, who were the suspected accused in a robbery case filed with Jorarganj cop shoppe of Mirsarai upazila, have been killed in a shootout with Rapid Action Battalion (RAB-7) at Muhuri project area under the upazila in Chittagong.
I'm thinking of redoing the graphic as "Tales from the Upazila"...
The dear departed are Md Kamrul Hasan, 41, the son of Mujammel Haque of Dhaka, and Yakub Ali, 34, the son of Abdul Hai from Pirojpur, said an official press statement of the elite force signed by its Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Md Amirulla, also the assistant director (AD) of RAB-7, media wing.
They will be missed, even though the RAB didn't...
Four foreign pistols, one DBBL shotgun, two SBBL guns, two one-shooter guns, six magazines, 21 rounds of bullets, eight rounds of cartridges, two axes, four machetes, two knives, 10 mobile phones along with 14 SIMs, 50 grams of looted gold, cash and liquors were also recovered from the spot, said the ASP.
From two guys?
And from all the guys who vanished like they were never there...
ASP Amirulla said the dear departed were the suspected accused in the case filed for looting a jewelry shop named Shameem Jewelers at Baryarhat area of Jorarganj on February 26, while the "shootout" took place at Muhuri Project area under Jorarganj cop shoppe at around 4am Monday.
"Md, what time is it?"
"It is 4 a.m., Yakub!"
"Time to loot the jewelry shop!"

Acting on a tip-off that a group of robbers gathered in the area to commit a robbery with firearms,
"Hello? Is dis the RAB?... Lissen, dis is Mahmoud da Weasel!... Shameem Jewelers at Baryarhat area of Jorarganj... I can say no more!"
a team of RAB-7 led by Squadron Leader Shafayat Jamil Fahim conducted a drive to arrest the criminals, said ASP Amir.

The RAB official said the criminals opened fire sensing the presence of RAB members
"*Sniff* Kamrul, did you put on aftershave before we left?
"I thought you did."
"Old Spice - it's the RAB! Start shooting, boys!"
forcing them to fire back to save lives and property,
"Remember the Rules of Engagement, lads!"
"Shoot ta kill, Sarge?"
"The official Rules, ya dope!"
leading to the shootout. Later the robbers fled the spot but Kamrul and Yakub were found to be critically injured.

Later the duo were taken to Mirsarai Upazila Health Complex where the on-duty doctors declared them dead, added the ASP.
"They're dead, Jim!
In the shootout two RAB members were also injured, said the blurb.
A hernia and a bruised ego...
However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
the names of the injured were not mentioned there.

ASP Amir said in examining the CCTV footage of the jewelry shop during the robbery and the driving licenses of the duo, RAB confirmed their identities and learned Yakub was accused in at least 12 systems 30 cases filed with different cop shoppes.

The bodies were sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH).
"Here's another couple for you Dr. Quincy!"
"Thanks Sam, stack 'em in the back with the others."

On February 26, robbers looted a large amount of gold from the jewelry shop at Baryarhat under Jorarganj cop shoppe of Mirsarai upazila and expeditiously departed at a goodly pace by blasting crude bombs on a microbus and cycle of violence.
