JHENIDAH, Oct 12: A cadre of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (ML-Janajuddha) was killed in a shootout between their cohorts and policat Jashaikhali village in Sadar upazila of the district early Thursday, reports UNB.
What do the policat's have against cohorts?
The deceased was identified as Mashiur Rahman, 35, son of Abdur Rahman Mondal of Durbakundu village in Kotchandpur upazila of the district.
I'm sure he was a good boy, widely respected in the upazila
Police arrested Mashiur from a bus stand in the district town Wednesday noon. He is an accused in a dozen criminal cases, includin three murders.
You'd think someone wanted on twelve systems could afford a car
Acting on his statement,
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww!"
the law enforcers along with Mashiur proceeded towards Jashaikhali on Wednesday night in search of hidden arms and ammunition.
Road trip!
When they reached the area at about 2:30 am Thursday, Mashiur''accomplices opened fire on the police party, forcing them to fire back.
Police are funny that way
Mashiur was critically injured in the 20-minute gunfight while trying to escape from police custody, said a police source.
The old "shot while trying to escape" gag
Injured Mashiur was taken to Jhenidah Sadar Hospital where he died at about 3:30 am.
"He's dead, Jim"
After the encounter, a shutter gun and three rounds of bullet were recovered from the scene.
To be cleaned and placed in storage for the next "encounter"
With this, 38 suspected criminals have so far been killed in shootouts with the law-enforcers in the district.
Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty

CHAPAINAWABGANJ, Oct 12: BNP and Awami League activists clashed Thursday at Ramjibanpur village of sadar upazila leaving 50 people wounded, reports UNB.
Ashraful, 32, and Sumon, 25, were rushed to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital in a bad condition while 24 others admitted to Chapainawabganj sadar hospital.
Villagers said BNP group led by Habibur Rahman and Awami League activists led by Shakil engaged in the clash to establish supremacy in their Baliadanga union.
Ah, the Teamsters would be proud
Both sides used stick, sharp and lethal weapons.
"Careful, you could put a eye out running with that"
Police rushed to the spot and dispersed the fighting groups. Tension was prevailing in the area.

Beware of veiled dacoits
Beware, the city dwellers. Borka (Veil) wearing female gangsters are active in the city. Two female dacoits wearing veil entered a house and looted cash and gold ornaments worth Tk 20,000 in the cityÂ’s Mirpur area on Thursday.

Locals said that two women entered a house at 166, Sangbadik residential area under Mirpur police station pressing calling bell.
"Ding dong! Avon calling!"
Entering the house belonging to a CNG driver—Mizan (35), the dacoits started beating the inmates including the housewife. At one stage the female gang looted cash of Tk 5,000, two pairs of earring and two bangles at dagger point.
Girls just want to have fun
A case was filed with Mirpur police station in this connection. But none was arrested till filing this report.

#9  You know, there are some cosmological theories that indicate that there's only *one* electron in the entire universe...I'm just saying, that's all...

#8  for the uninitiated freshmen here at RBU,

A Shutter Gun™ is a RAB inforcement tool which shutters back and fourth 'tween Wee-Hour forays in the field and then back to the police tool shed.

#7  Phew! they found the shutter gun, maybe this time they'll lock it up. Did you know there's only one? It's a mean bugger mind - it's extraordinarily good at getting its so-called owner killed.

#6  Probably has at least two in it. They might get a busy night once in awhile...

#5  The RAB evidence locker must have several hundred shutter guns in it by now. I wonder how big it is?
