| [Bangla Daily Star] Three robbers were beaten to death by mob at Bitghar village of Nabinagar upazila in Brahmanbaria while they were taking preparation to commit a robbery early yesterday. The dead were identified as Tiger Samad alias Saimma, 36, of Kaitala village under Nabinagar upazila, and Ellias and Mafiz alias Aziz of Chittagong. Villagers and police sources said a gang of robbers led by Tiger Samad, accused in 12 cases, gathered at a house of Kaitala village with their guns to commit a robbery on the night. Nabinagar police later went to the spot after nearby people informed them about the matter. Sensing danger, the robbers fired five rounds of bullet at police prompting the law enforcers to fire 13 blank shots. Local people later chased the gang members who were fleeing from the scene after the exchange of gunfire. The mob caught three of the robbers from nearby Bitghar village and gave them a good beating, killing them on the spot around 2:00am. Police recovered a local gun (LG) and nine rounds of bullet from the scene and arrested a female robber. The bodies were sent to Brahmanbaria Sadar Hospital for autopsy. Additional Superintendent of Police Md Osman Gani confirmed the incident. Police have been deployed in the area to control the situation. |

| #1 I've been to Brahmanbaria. Its strung out along the river. Has a big bazaar for selling Camels ( or is it Elephants, I forget).Anyway.. some animal with large bowels. Has an Animals with large Bowels Fair every year. Gets flooded now and then. Has three levels of sidewalks all on top of one another from the last time it rained. Once had to walk 60 miles around the town because of the water covering everything ( like the rail line) for miles. My ticket by rail was worthless, the town full of rained out refugees, no food even if you had money, gangs with sticks and totally white( drowning does that to flesh) bodies of water buffalo legs up and rotting with the crows all over them. A human dead body, all water white and drowned, laid outside the railroad yard gate leading into town. Somebody left it there for "pick up" by the local garbage business ( they actually had one?). be sure and tell Tourism about the local color and quaint customs of Brahmanbaria. Its a winner.
