 An activist of outlawed Biplobi Communist Party (BCP) was killed in a 'shootout' between his accomplices and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at Pairakhalipur under Harinakundu upazila in Jhenidah early hours yesterday.
| Old or new, he's a Biplobi and that's all that matters ... |
The dead was identified as Sukur Ali alias Kota, 36, from the same village. According to a Rab 6 press release, a Rab team acted on a tip-off and cordoned off Sukur Ali's residence at Pairakhalipur village at around 3:00am where members of BCP were holding a secret meeting.
| Wasn't so secret after all ... |
The outlaws ignored Rab's call to surrender and opened fire on Rab, ...
| ... usual cries of 'cheez', 'it's the RAB', 'let'em have it', etc ... |
... triggering a half-hour long gunfight with Rab, the press release said.
| With the usual desultory fire ... |
Sukur was found dead inside the house after the gunfight was over while his accomplices managed to flee the scene, claimed Rab.
| They usually do claim that, don't they, one bad guy catching bullets behind the ear and the others all absconded ... |
Rab recovered a pistol and six bullets from the spot.
| Sukur was a minor enough Biplobi that he didn't rate a shutter gun ... |
Jhenidah police said Sukur was accused in several cases including five for murder filed with Harinakundu and Jhenidah sadar police stations.
| The usual 'wanted on twelve systems' ... |
