Sunday, 29 June 2008
Within a span of 24-hours, another outlaw was killed in an "encounter" between his cohorts and police at Houspur village in Mirpur under Kushtia early Saturday, reports UNB.
The dead was identified as Anwar Hossain Selim (35), regional commander of Biplobi Communist Party.
Police said Selim was wanted in 15 cases, including five murders. He was allegedly involved in the killing of Ambaria UP chairman Mukul and Kursha UP JCD leader Imran.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of Mirpur thana police raided Houspur village at about 00:30am when the outlaws were holding a clandestine meeting at a house.
"When police cordoned off the house, the extremists opened fire on them, forcing the law-enforcers to fire back," said a police account of the "encounter."
