Aug 6: Five alleged muggers were arrested after a gunfight with RAB members at Nauzar in Sadar upazila today (Saturday). The arrested were identified as Jahangir, Faruk, Sohag, Daroga Ali and Shariful. Four of them—Jahangir, Faruk, Sohag and Ali—were injured in the gunfight.
Patched up at the Chittagong Medical College ER.
Police said the RAB men in the guise of land traders went to the area where they challenged six muggers who in their desperate bid to escape opened fire on the elite force.
"It's the RAB, lads! Open senseless, poorly aimed fire!"
Four of the miscreants were injured when the RAB members returned fire.
"Ooch! Ouch! Ooch!"
Later, the elite force held one of the miscreants, Shariful.
"Shariful! Let's have a 'conversation'!"
The five miscreants, including the four injured, were handed over to police.
"C'mon chief, can't we 'cross-fire' one of them? Huh?"
"Too many folks is lookin'. Now go find that shutter gun."
One revolver, a knife and another homemade weapon were recovered from the scene.

#2  I can't believe that the RAB is going soft. I'm guessing that the regular correspondent is on vacation and they have a temp filling in, and the temp is just taking a few days to get up to speed.

The olde land sharks disguise, seen it often. But that was a long time ago, things were different then.
