Staff Correspondent
The police killed an outlawed operative and an alleged godfather of local criminals in separate 'shootouts' when they allegedly tried-to run away from the police custody in Jhenidah and Chuadanga districts yesterday.
Shawkat alias Zakir, 35, said to be a cadre of Biblobi Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist), who had been evading arrest for several criminal charges, was arrested in his Chorkol village in JhenidahThursday morning.
The law-enforcers arrested the Chuadanga crossfire victim, Sharif Doctor, in KamalpurFriday night.
Acting on Shawkat's information, the police went to Oaria village to seize arms from another criminal, Modhu alias Tiger. As they reached Sreepur village at 1:00am, his accomplices allegedly fired on the cops.
As the policemen fired back, Shawkat 'tried to run away and took several bullets in his body having been caught in the crossfire'. He died on the spot.
Police said constables Nawaj, Abdus Salam and Mostafa also sustained bullet injuries during the firefight
About 100 rounds of gunshots were exchanged in the shootout and the police retrieved a shuttergun and two bullets from the spot. Apart from Shawkat two extremist operatives - Rajkumar and Abdul Mazid - were killed in ’crossfire’ on Octobers 1 in the southwestern district At Kumari village in Chuadanga's Alamdanga upazila, a band of alleged criminals hurled a bomb at fish trader Nazrul Islam and his two companions when they were returning home on a motorcycle Friday afternoon.
The fish traders escaped unhurt but locals caught one of the attackers, Tutul.
After he was turned in to the police, TYitul disclosed the name of Sharif Doctor as their 'boss' during interrogation.
Police arrested Sharif the same night in the area. Acting on Sharifs confessional statement, a police team took him to Kumar Nodi area at Kumari village at 2:00am yesterday to seize arms reportedly dumped in Bajitpur village.
Some unknown criminals opened fire on the policemen as they reached the area, prompting the law- enforcers to retaliate, claimed a local policeman.
Sharif was gunned down as he tried to flee during the gunfight, said the policeman.
Police seized one shutter-gun, two bullets and three cartridges from the spot.
Eleven people, most of them said to be criminals, have been killed in similar 'crossfire' in the district this year.
