Friday, 13 June 2008
Nine suspected robbers were killed in mayhem of mass-beating and gunfight between a gang of robbers and law-enforcers at Bara Adimpur village in Singra under Natore early Thursday, reports UNB.
Police said local people hemmed in a gang of dacoits numbering about a dozen while they were waiting at Bara Adimpur Primary School for committing robbery at about 2am. Tipped off, patrol teams of Police and RAB also rushed in there.
"Sensing their presence, the gang opened fire on the law-enforcers, forcing them to fire back, which triggered a gunfight," said an account of the melee.
At one stage, the robbers, sensing danger, tried to hole up in different places of the village. But the angry mob found out and caught eight of them, and beat them up indiscriminately. Six of them died instantly in the lynch-mob action, and two others were fatally injured.
Police and RAB personnel rescued the two injured dacoits, and got them admitted into the local health complex where they died later on.
The law-enforcers also recovered a bullet-ridden body from a nearby pond after the shootout was over. Four shutter-guns and three cartridges were also recovered from the scene.
Five of the dead were identified as Al Amin, Yadul, Abdul Bari, Helal and Yunus, while the others could not be identified immediately.
