DRUG-PEDDLER-DEATH (with picture)
One killed in gunfight with RAB in Rajshahi
RAJSHAHI, Sept 11, 2018 (BSS) – An alleged drug-trader was killed in a
gunfight between RAB and his cohorts in Dhurail area under Mohanpur upazila
in the district last night.
According to RAB, the deceased was identified as Dulal Mian, 45, son of
late Ibrahim Hossain of Hariharpur village under the same upazila.
He was a listed drug-trader and five cases relating to drug-trading,
robbery and kidnapping remained pending with different police stations
against him.
The RAB officials told local journalists that a patrol team of the elite
force asked a group of suspected drug peddlers moving in the area to
surrender.
Sensing danger, the gang opened fire on the elite force. In retaliation,
the RAB members fired back that triggered the “gunfight”, said Major Ashraful
Islam of RAB-5.
At one stage, the group of drugs peddlers fled the scene leaving behind
bullet-hit Dulal on the spot, he said.
He was rushed to Mohanpur Upazila Health Complex where the attending
doctors declared him dead.
Later, the RAB members seized a foreign-made pistol with one round of
bullet and 506 yaba tablets from the scene.
