Crossfire kills Chhatra Dal leader in Barisal

Barisal, July 16 (bdnews24.com) – A student activist and 'listed criminal' died in an exchange of gunfire with the Rapid Action Battalion in Barisal early Wednesday, RAB and police said.

The dead man was identified as Moshiul Alam Sentu (35), president of Barisal metropolitan Chhatra Dal and central Chhatra Dal vice president.

RAB-8 lieutenant commander KM Mamunur Rashid told bdnews24.com that RAB-3 members had detained Sentu at Dhaka University campus on Tuesday and handed him over to RAB-8.

Based on the students activist's statement, the elite group went to Kashipur-Lakotia road to recover a stash of arms around 4am Wednesday morning.

Sentu's associates fired at the RAB officers, said Rashid, and as RAB returned fire the Chhatra Dal leader received bullet wounds and died on the spot.

The elite force seized one AK-47, one shotgun, one pistol and a huge cache of ammunitions from the spot, but failed to arrest anybody, said the RAB-8 officer.

Kotwali police assistant commissioner Hayatul Islam told bdnews24.com that Sentu was a listed criminal who has 19 cases filed against him, including murder, with different police stations.

Erai to Chatro Neta.

Sentu 35 bochore kivabe chatro hoi ta aponar bodogommo noi
Montu 42 bochore kivabe chatro hoi ta ki aponar bodogommo hoi? (AL Montu/Sultan/Monsur)

Let's assume sentu killed a person 5 years back. As he is a chatro dol neta (Ziar Soinik), there was no question of justice for murdering. But if there was a proper legal system without any kind of political or monetary influence, This Sentu could be hanged few years back.
So, the hanged sentu, in other words the dead sentu how can be died again?

Sentu was arrested from DU campus.
I want those days should be over, those days, when these kind of rubbish from bosti came to DU hall and consume the DU students meal with the might of arms and blessings of BNP and Al.

র‌্যাবের ক্রস ফায়ার

র‌্যাবের ক্রসফায়ার নাটকের সর্বশেষ শিকার সেণ্টু । র‌্যাবকে স্বীকার পেতে হবে যে তারা খুন করছে আর না হলে র‌্যাবের প্রধানের পদত্যাগ করা এবং র‌্যাব ৮ এর প্রধানের বিরুদ্বে কেইস করা। কারণ বার বার তাদের ভুলের জন্য মানূষ মারা যাবে ইহা কিভাবে সম্ভব।
আরেক টি ব্যাপার আমাকে আকৃষ্ট করেছে সেণ্টুর বয়স নাকি ৩৫ /আমার জানামতে সেন্টুর বয়স ৪০+
এই বয়সে একজন কিভাবে ছাত্র নেতা থাকে আমার বোধগম্য ণয়।
