<Outlaw killed in 'shootout' with Rab
A leader of an outlawed party was killed during a "shootout" between the members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) and his accomplices in Joykhan area under Mongla upazila of Bagerhat district early yesterday.
No, we don't know where that is.
Rab arrested Mohammad Rafiqul Islam Howlader alias "Dakat" Rafiq, 35, operation commander of Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-Janajuddho), at Sonaitola under the upazila on Sunday.
Commie Crossfire Continues
On his statement,
"Stop screaming, I can hardly understand you.."
the Rab men along with Rafiq set out for Joykhan area to arrest his cohorts and recover the hidden firearms.
"Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go.."
When they reached the area at about 3:20am,
Natch..
Rafiq's men opened fire on the law enforcers, forcing them to retaliate.
"Sergeant, drag Rafiq out of the truck and prop him up. I'll load the 'retaliator'"
According to a Rab form letter press release, Rafiq received bullets during the "shootout" and died on the spot,
"Ouch! rose..bud.."
while his accomplices managed to flee.
without leaving a trace..
The outlaw was wanted in a number of several criminal cases on twelve systems including five for murder recorded with Rampal and Mongla police stations, the press release added. One pipe gun and six bullets were recovered from the scene.

Rab informant shot in city
A gang of criminals shot and injured an informant for the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at Sabujbagh in the city yesterday. The gang led by Wasim and Ripon fired on Delwar Hossein, 30, a phone shop owner and informant for Rab-10, in the head after beating him up at Manda Piar Ali lane.
"Take that, stoolie!"
He was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital and then shifted to a private hospital at Dhanmondi in a critical condition.
Only the best for a good informant
Relatives of Delwar said that he provided information to the Rab-10, leading to the arrest of Hamidul Haque Uzzal, a top criminal of Sabujbagh area, on June 7. Wasim, nephew of Uzzal, made the attack on Delwar to take revenge for giving information, they said.
"He ratted out Uncle Uzzal! I must have Dire Revenge!"


Member of UPDF killed
June 12: Unidentified assailants killed a member of United Peoples Democratic Front(UPDF) at Kachuakhali village under Kaukhali Upazila on June 10 night.
The deceased was identified as Rahiddya Aung Marma (32).

Police said Ruhiddya Aung Marma, a member of anti peace accord political organization United Peoples Democratic Front (UPDF) was expelled from the party for his anti-party activities two months before his murder.
So, they wacked him for being anti-anti-peace party?
On June 10 night, the assailants entered his bedroom and slaughtered Aung Marma. Police suspected that the men of the opponent party had a hand in the murder of Rahiddya Aung Marma.
"Genius, Holmes! How do you do it?"
