Two more crime suspects were killed in separate incidents of ‘encounter’ with the law enforcers in the district headquarters and at Mirpur in Kushtia early Friday.

Friday’s incidents took to 89 the total death figure from such incidents of ‘encounter’ or ‘crossfire’ with the Rapid Action Battalion and the police after January 6 when the Awami League-led government assumed office.

The deceased, Aroz Ali, 36, and Edu Mondol, 40, were operatives of the ultra-left outfit Purba Banglar Communist Party.

In the district headquarters, the police raided a hideout of the operatives at Mollateghori where Aroz was meeting his associates.

As the team reached the spot, the operatives fired into the lawmen, who fired back. At one point during the gunfight, Aroz was killed being caught in the gunfight.

The law enforcers seized a shutter gun, four bullets, and two homemade bombs from the spot.

The police said Aroz was accused in seven cases — three for murder and four for extortion — filed with the Gangni police at Meherpur and in the district headquarters.

In the other incident at Mirpur, Edu was killed in ‘crossfire’ with the police early Friday. The police said one of their teams raided a field at Ursha where the operatives were holding a meeting.

As the lawmen approached, the operatives fired on them. The law enforcers fired back.

At one point during the gunfight, the operatives got away. The police found Edu lying dead on the spot. The police seized a Chinese pistol and 16 bullets from the spot after the gunfight.

Edu Mondol was accused in four cases, including two for murder, filed with the Mirpur police, the police said.
