 [Bangla Daily Star] -- Zulfikar Ali Gama, kingpin of notorious gang 'Gama Bahini', died in an encounter with police in Mongla yesterday.
| Not quite a 'cross-fire'... |
| They don't do cross-fires any more. A judge got upset because the miscreants weren't getting proper trials, so he told the Rab to cut it out. They turned to encountering instead, and the police slavishly followed suite. |
"Say, Sergeant Choudhary, lookie who we just [BANG] encountered!"
"Nice work men. Place the body on 'the spot' and fetch the shutter gun." |
Sagar, 30, a constable of Mongla Police Station, was bullet-hit
during the encounter that took place from 3:30pm to 4:00pm at Narkelbari of the Sundarbans East Zone in Mongla upazila.
| Not one idea where that is. |
Acting on secret information
| Another ten-spot to Mahmoud the Weasel... |
that Gama built a dwelling house
| Is that like a secret lair? |
at Narkelbari and was hiding there
| Hiding in his own house? Where does he think he is, Phoenix? |
along with some of his cohorts,
| Maybe they were shooting pool in the basement... |
a team, led by Mongla thana officer Nikhil Chandra Mandal, raided the house at 3:30pm.
| Gama should have been at the office... |
Gama made a vain attempt to flee
| Hard to flee when you've a bullet behind each ear... |
by firing from his pistol
| "Take that ya dirty coppers!" |
at the advancing police force, triggering a shootout which lasted for about 30 minutes.
| From which not a single piece of forensic evidence was recovered... |
At one stage, police stormed into the house overpowering Gama and his gangs, and placed in durance vile him in injured condition. His cohorts managed to escape.
| As if they'd never been there in the first place... |
Constable Sagar received bullet wound in the line of fire and was rushed to Mongla Hospital.
| "Can't youse guys learn to shoot straight? Cheez, my own guys!" |
Bagerhat
| Is that like the Elks Club? |
Superintendent of Police Khandakar Rafiqul Islam said Gama succumbed to his multiple bullet wounds at the hospital at 9:00pm.
| He actually succumbed a few minutes before the police dumped his body on the 'spot', but 9 pm at the hospital is as good a time as any for the records. |
Gama, 36, was the son of Rashid Hawlader of Sonatala village of Mongla.
| They fail to name his mother, who doubtless didn't love him... |
A foreign-made 9mm pistol and five bullets were recovered from Gama's body possession. |
