 Three people, including the prime accused in a police official murder case, were killed in “shootouts” with law enforcers in Pabna, Brahmanbaria and Jessore yesterday.
| Patience, dear reader, we'll get to all of them... |
The dead are Rubel Hossain and Jibon.
Identity of another deceased could not be known.
| Known but to God, and likely mourned by Him alone... |
Rubel, son of Idris Ali of Diar Baghoil village in Pabna's Ishwardi upazila, was the prime accused on twelve systems in the Assistant Town Sub-inspector (ATSI) Sujaul Islam Suja murder case, police said. Suja was found dead on a field near Pakshey Railway Station on October 5 last year. He was posted at the Pakshey police camp.
| Whacked a Bangla cop? I'm a little surprised the RAB didn't take care of Rubel themselves... |
Ishwardi Police Station's Officer-in-Charge Biman Kumar Das said law enforcers arrested Rubel from near his home around 11:00pm on Tuesday. Later, a police team along with Rubel conducted a drive to arrest his associate Ibra Hossain.
| These stories just write themselves... |
“When police reached Natunpara area near the Padma river
| Just try finding that on a map... |
around 11:30pm,
| Isn't that a little early? Or was the Natunapara area booked solid? It's like with June weddings... |
Rubel's associates opened fire on them,
| "Cheez, it's the law! Open random, aimless fire!" |
forcing the law enforcers to fire back,” he said.
| "Forced" is perhaps not the right word, but perhaps the Bangla police translator didn't know the right word... |
Rubel was caught in the line of fire
| ...between the two cops putting one behind each ear... |
and died on the spot,
"Which spot?"
"THAT spot!" |
while his accomplices managed to flee the scene.
| As if they'd never been there in the first place... |
His body was sent to Pabna Medical College morgue for an autopsy.
"Here's another one for you Dr. Quincy!"
"Great Sam, stack him in the back with the others." |
Sub-Inspector Hasan Toufik and three constables were slightly injured in the incident, police claimed.
| A hernia, a boo-boo, a hang-nail and a bruised ego... |
One firearm and two bullets were recovered from the spot, the OC claimed.
| But no shutter gun, that's reserved for the RAB. Sergeant Choudhry makes sure of that... |
