Two 'criminals found injured' by police
Police claimed to have detained two injured members of two criminal gangs who were hurt during a clash between the groups in Jessore yesterday.
They are Shishir Ghosh, 35, and Rabbi Islam Shuvo, 27.
Police found them “in critical condition” around five in the morning and admitted them to Jessore General Hospital, said OC Ajmal Huda of Jessore Kotwali Police Station. The clash took place at Sutipur-Erenda Road of Jessore Sadar upazila, he said. According to hospital sources, at the time of their admission, both of their legs and an arm each were broken. They were also bleeding profusely.
However, Nitya Ghosh, father of Shishir, alleged that Shishir and Shuvo were arrested by police on Wednesday from Chitalmari area of Bagerhat. He alleged that police beat them and broke their legs and arms. Police refuted the allegation.
OC Ajmal Huda said around 3:00am they received the information that a clash has ensued between the two gangs. When they reached the spot, the miscreants fled the scene leaving the injured two. Later, they rescued them and took them to the hospital. A locally-made pistol, a shooter gun and 19 bombs were recovered from the spot, he claimed.
He said the injured were involved in the Tipu Sultan murder case. On December 23, Tipu, a shopkeeper, was killed by a stray bullet fired by a gang in the TB Clinic area of the city.
Besides, Shishir and Shuvo are accused in at least 15 cases including murder, he alleged. The two are now in police custody.
