Outlaw killed in 'encounter' with police in Kushtia
A regional leader of Lal Pataka, a faction of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-ML), was killed in a gun battle between outlaws and law enforcers in Mirpur upazila in Kushtia yesterday.
The dead was identified as Anisur Rahman Anis 32, son of late Tayeb Ali of Gorapara in Mirpur upazila.
Police said acting on a tip-off, they raided Abdul Haq's house at Gorapara village at about 4:00am where members of the banned outfit were hiding.
The law enforcers cordoned off the house and asked the outlaws to surrender. Ignoring the call, they opened fire on police prompting them to retaliate. Anis was killed in the gun battle while his accomplices managed to escape.
Police recovered a shutter gun and four rounds of bullet from the spot.
Police said Anis was accused in 12 cases on different charges including murder.
