 A teenaged boy died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital in the early hours of yesterday, a day after the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) chased and caught him.
| 'chased and caught' him? Isn't that a job for a shutter gun? |
Rab claimed the teenager, Zakir Hossain, died from chest pain he suffered while trying to evade the arrest.
[THUMP] [THUMP] [THUMPITY-THUMPITY-THUMP]
"Owwwww, my chest hurts!" |
He was arrested from Shah Ali Police Station area in the city at 3:00am on Tuesday.
| He caught up with the RAB as they were headed out to another 'encounter'. |
However, morgue sources said the body bore marks of bruises.
"Sam, geez, look at all the bruises on this one!"
"Careful Dr. Quincy, we shouldn't include that in the autopsy report."
"Oh okay, just don't tell no one." |
Zakir, 19, son of Zafar Hossain, was a resident of Mirpur.
In the first information report (FIR) filed with Shah Ali Police Station, the Rab said its members went to the Eidgah field at Rinekhola in Mirpur at 3:00am on Tuesday to arrest criminals.
| Perhaps these criminials? |
Zakir, who was roaming the area at that time, ran to evade arrest but he subsequently developed chest pain, Rab said.
Rab members then took him to Suhrawardy Hospital. He was later shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where he died.
| Hard to reconstruct an entire chest in the ER. |
No relatives of Zakir went to the hospital to visit him.
| "Who? Who? Never heard of him! And even if we did he's dead now!" |
Meanwhile, police inquest report and morgue sources said the body bore bruises in the hands and legs.
| "Sam-m-m! I told you not to tell anyone!" |
