Bugti dacoits kidnap two policemen, kill one
2003-11-18
"Yar! We be Bugtis! Who be ye, stranger?"
Outlaws who kidnapped four policemen from Baskit police picket near Kandh Kot on Monday night killed a policeman when he resisted, police quoted one of his three injured colleagues as saying. Assistant Sub Inspector Nazeer Chandio succumbed to his injuries in the custody of the dacoits, said Constable Ghulam Yaseen, who escaped and managed to reach his police station despite his injuries.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Feet, don't fail me now!"
Constable Yaseen and three other constables were on a routine patrol when a group of 15 armed outlaws, believed to be Bugti tribesmen who had been hiding in a graveyard, opened fire on the policemen.
"Yar! It's da coppers! Get 'em, boys!"
A gunfight ensued.
That was unexpected?
The dacoits managed to overpower the constables and seized their rifles.
"Gimme them guns!"
They left Constable Yaseen wounded in serious condition, but he was able to reach the police station. The others constables were still in the custody of the outlaws.
"What're we gonna do with 'em, Mahmoud?"
"Yar! We'll hold 'em fer ransom!"

#7  Mojo, subs are big! Any sub inspector needs an assistant. My only question is how did they get a sub into that desert? I know Bugtis are famous for stealing anything that's not firmly secured to an immovable object, but a sub?????

They don't need constables, they need the 101st in Bradleys, with authorization to waste graveyards. The only people that might complain are people that shouldn't be there anyway...

A little top-heavy in the TO, huh guys?

#5  Of course, don't confuse them with Thugs; a completely different group of banditos that are probably extinct.

#1  So, these are obviously Baskit cases.

Those damn Bugtits, again. BTW, what the heck is a dacoit?
