Robber killed in gunfight with cops
An alleged robber was killed and four others, including two policemen, were injured in a gunfight between law enforces and a gang of robbers in Hasanpur area on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway under Daudkandi upazila of the district early yesterday.
The identity of the dead aged around 40-years could not be known.
Abdus Salam, officer-in-charge (OC) of Daudkandi Police Station, said a gang of six to seven robbers intercepted a Cox's Bazar-bound private car on the highway around 3:00am and opened fire on Tajul Islam, driver of the car.
When a police patrol team reached there, the gang opened fire, prompting the law enforcers to retaliate. A gang member and two policemen--Sub-inspector Atiqur Rahman and constable Yousuf--were injured during the gun battle.
The injured were taken to Gouripur Upazila Health Complex where the robber succumbed to his injuries.
A case was filed with the police station.
