Suspected robber killed in Jhenaidah ‘gunfight’
2016-09-03
[Dhaka Tribune] A suspected robber has been killed in a "shootout" with police in Pirojpur Koraitola area under Kaliganj upazila of Jhenaidah district.
Good luck finding that one with a highly detailed map and a periwinkle magnifier...
The identity of the dear departed could not be ascertained yet.

Kaliganj cop shoppe Second Officer SI Imran Alam said: "A police team was patrolling in the area around 3am on Friday when they noticed some logs on the road.

"A group of 10 to 12 robbers hurled two improvised bombs targeting the law enforcers when they stopped their vehicle to check what was happening there."

In retaliation, police shot up the robbers that triggered a "shootout" between them.

At one stage, one of the gang members was caught in the line of fire
...right where he was placed...
and was struck down in his prime while the others managed to flee the scene.
... as though they had never been...
Kaliganj OC Aminul Islam said: "The body has been sent to Upazila Health Complex."

Meanwhile,
...back at the pound, the little lost dog had finished eating the rat terrier...
a shutter gun, five improvised bombs, four machetes, a round of bullets, rope and a logs were recovered from the spot.
