FE Report
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) picked up a listed criminal with bullet wound after a shootout at Motijhil in the city early Tuesday, RAB sources said.
A patrol team of RAB-3 halted their vehicle and called a group of young men at an area adjacent to Notre Dame College at about 1:45am for their suspicious movement. But they avoided the call of the patrol team and started running away.
When the RAB team challenged the fleeing men, they opened fire on the law-enforcers, forcing them to retaliate. Ismail Hossain Lalu, commonly known as Rocket Lalu, was caught in the gunfire and was wounded, while his accomplices managed to escape, said a RAB-3 officer.
"Rocket Lalu was wanted in five criminal cases, including one murder and two under the Arms Act," he added.
Lalu, who received a bullet in his left leg, was handed over to Motijhil police at noon after treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
The RAB members also recovered a revolver and four rounds of ammunition from the spot.
