| [Bangla Daily Star] Two persons including a police officer were maimed in a 'shootout' between a police patrol and a gang of 'armed snatchers' in city's Gulshan area yesterday. Police tossed in the slammer injured snatcher Billal Hossain, 25, his accomplices Ruhul Amin, 20, and Tuhin Sheikh, 22, while another mugger Nurul Islam managed to escape with a firearm. Sub-inspector Nazmul Huda of Gulshan Police Station received a bullet in his right leg and was sent to Rajarbagh Police Hospital. Billal was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital with a bullet in his left leg. Police said SI Nazmul and his team noticed a private car intercepting a woman walking in front of the South Park in Gulshan-1 around 7:00am. Getting down from the car, four youths attacked her to snatch valuables. As police approached the gang, one of the youths opened fire on them prompting retaliation from the law enforcers. Following the shootout police tossed in the slammer the three and recovered four machetes and two knives from the spot. Law enforcers filed two cases in this connection. |
