RAB detains Samrat’s business partner in Bhola

2019-10-31

[Dhaka Tribune] The Rapid Action Battalion

(RAB) detained an associate of expelled Jubo League
... the youth wing of the Bangla Awami League...
leader Ismail Hossain Samrat

...Oooh, a three-namer! He must be important...

from the Ilish Ferry Ghat in Bhola Sadar upazila

...if you go down to the last file cabinet in the second sub-basement at the local RAB headquarters, you’ll find a 3:1 map of the upazilla, folded up small. When you unfold it — take it outside on a windless, sunny day or you will undo all the work that went into making the thing, about which certain parties will not be even slightly amused — the location of Ilish Ferry Ghat will be immediately apparent....

on Wednesday.

The detained, Zakir Hossain

...clearly a putz of a two-namer, but at least his parents could afford the second one...

, 45, was Samrat’s business partner.

RAB also recovered a pistol, four rounds of bullet, four bottles of liquor, two mobile phones, and Tk1,160 from the scene.

Score! Usually it’s three round of bullet and a shutter gun, nothing more. Sergeant Siddique’s evidence room must be full to bursting for him to put out like that.

Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Bhola model cop shoppe, Enayet Hossain, told the Dhaka Tribune: "Acting on a tipoff,

*Ring, ring* “Mahmoud the Weasel here. I have a tipoff for the boys.”

RAB-8 conducted a drive in the area and arrested Zakir when he was trying to flee the area."

“There he goes, boys! The first one to catch him gets an extra biscuit with his tea while polishing the rounds of bullet in the evidence room.”
“On it, Sarge.”
“On it, Sarge.”
“Meeee — that biscuit is mine! Coming through, boys, I want that biscuit!”

Zakir, from Shantinagar, Dhaka,

...he was led astray by the fancy girls and pretty boys of the big city...

was in hiding for 10 days at his grandfather-in-law’s house after Samrat’s arrest, the OC added.

He shared the crawlspace under the veranda with a goodly collection of the local snakes and mongooses, so it wasn’t a restful situation. He was honestly happy to be caught, poor man.

RAB has filed two separate cases with Bhola model cop shoppe in this connection, one under the Arms Act 1878 and the other under Narcotics Control Act 1990.

*Blink* That’s a heckuva time range. The Arms Act 1878 must be a pip if it’s still in use.

ARREST OF CASINO KINGPIN SAMRAT
RAB arrested Samrat and his accomplice Arman from Comilla’s Chauddagram upazila on October 6.

A business partner and a henchman? When did our illustrious three-namer have time to sleep?

A mobile court, led by RAB Executive Magistrate Sarwar Alam, sentenced Samrat to six months in prison under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2012, after they recovered two kangaroo hides from his Kakrail office.

Good lord. The RAB has a dedicated court on wheels now? It makes sense, I suppose — they were up to fourteen RAB units the last time we looked in on them, and expanding rapidly. Everyone wanted an RAB of their very own, with their cool sunglasses and efficient handling of miscreants of all sorts, including river pirates.

He was then sent to Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj.
