 [Dhaka Tribune] A wanted criminal
| ...wanted on twelve planets, 'e was, and rightfully so did they want him, the miscreant! |
was killed in a shootout with police in the capital's Jatrabari area yesterday.
| They didn't want to shoot him, but after the things he said, really they had no choice. |
The dead was identified as Natai Sohel, 25.
| A two-namer, so middle class. Your lower classes have but one name apiece, you see, and the poorest of them need to share, being no more than Mohammed #17 and Mahmud One-Eye #8. |
A subordinate of Sohel, Md Sajeeb,22, also received bullet injuries during the shootout.
| Disappearing as if you'd never been is clearly a learnt skill, which our friend Md Jeeb (is that a name or a Punjabi translation of "Peg-leg #43"? |
Sub-Inspector Atikur Rahman of Jatrabari cop shoppe said the shootout took place when criminals opened fired at police and hurled a crude bomb
during a raid near Balur Maath of Shantek Bashpotti area around 12pm.
| Good lord, that's the middle of the day. But it is the police instead of the RAB, and such deviations can't be helped, I suppose. |
Sohel and Sajeeb were shot, while their cohorts managed to flee the area,
| ...as if they'd never been, having practiced the skill to the point of mastery, unlike poor Md Sajeeb... |
he said. Sohel died after being brought to the Nitor hospital.
| "Paging Dr. Quincy. Dr. Quincy to the white courtesy phone." |
Jatrabari police OC Abani Sarker said Sohel was an accused in eight cases, including a murder case and Sajeeb has several cases against him.
| And so all were satisfied with the outcome, except perhaps a pair of unsatisfactory mothers. |
