Robbers, not Rab, killed 3 in Gutia

A victim's relative says

Staff Correspondent
A relative of the three of a family who died in early Friday’s ’shootout’ with Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at Gutia in Tongi yesterday said it was robbers, not the elite anticrime force, who killed three people and wounded four others.
Shefali Begum, 30, Delwar's sister whom criminals hacked in the head, said she recognised two local robbers Rashu and Ibrahim and another one - either Sadu or Yousuf - who were armed with knives during the incident.
She, however, said two other unknown people clad in black with the word ’RAB’ inscribed in the back were with them, she added.
"Rashu first hacked me in the head as I coincidentally got up to go to the toilet. Then they knocked at Delwar's house and I shouted and then fainted," Shcfali, who was treated at Sultan General Clinic in Boardbazar, said yesterday, giving an eyewitness’s account of the incident.
She said criminals who perpetrated the killing called in Rab an hour into the deadly incident
Bodies of the three dead, meanwhile, were lying in the morgue of Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) until yesterday evening.
Hospital sources said bodies of Najib All, 55, his son Shamsul Haq, 25, and brother-in-law Delwar, 35, might be handed to their relatives sometime last night after autopsy.
Rab said the three were killed and three others wounded in a shootout with them, a claim relatives of the victims and locals brushed aside, saying local criminals shot and hacked the three dead before calling Rab-1 in.
Sources at the DMCH suspect at least three stab marks are there in Delwar’s left neck.
Police yesterday took Ahmed, one of the four wounded, to Tongi Police Station from the DMCH. Police said he would be taken to court today. The two other wounded, Kawsar Ali and Adam Ali, were undergoing treatment at the DMCH.
Rab filed two cases, one for murder and another for possessing illegal arms, with Tongi Police Station Friday evening, accusing seven people. They are Najib Ali, Shamsul Haq, Delwar, Kawsar, Ahmed, /\dam and ShahebAll
Fatik Matbor, father of Delwar, said he would file a murder case against local criminals who he claimed killed his son and two others.
Friday’s Incident has sent chills down the spine of the residents of Gutia village. A team of Tongi police was deployed in the village yester-
