Two ‘robbers’ killed in ‘gunfight’
Two alleged robbers were killed in a "shootout" with Rab members in Gazipur city early yesterday.
Their identities could not be known immediately.
The "gunfight" took place around 2:30am when a Rab team raided near the National Park area on Dhaka-Mymensingh road on information that some robbers gathered there, said Lt Commander Abdullah Al Mamun, company commander of Rab-1 in Gazipur.
Sensing the presence of Rab members, the criminals opened fire. Law enforcers retaliated, resulting in a "shootout", he claimed.
Two were hit by bullets while others fled. They were rushed to Shaheed Ahsan Ullah Master General Hospital in Tongi where doctors declared them dead, the Rab official said.
Rab claimed to have recovered two firearms, four bullets, and two machetes from the spot.
A Rab member was also hurt in the incident, Rab claimed.
