Two more associates of "top terror" Rozen were killed in an encounter between RAB men and the accomplices of the terrorists at Kadomtoli in the city yesterday four days after the death of the ringleader in the same way.

The deceased were identified as Babu, 26, and Suman, 25, known as 'killer Suman.'

"Both of them were wanted in a number of criminal cases, including murder and extortion. They were listed criminals in the city's Jatrabari, Sabujbagh, Shyampur and Kadomtoli areas," a RAB officer said.

Earlier on November 26, Rozen and one of his close aides, Bidyut, were killed in crossfire during another encounter with RAB at Shanir Akhra in the city.

Being informed that accomplices of Rozen gathered in Kadomtoli water-purification area to plan crimes, a team of RAB-10 raided the area at about 3:00am to arrest them.

"Sensing danger, the gangsters opened fire on RAB men, forcing them to fire back. During gunfire that lasted 25 minutes, Babu and Suman were caught in the line of fire and died instantly," says a RAB account of the shootout.

The elite force also recovered two revolvers, one pistol and 203 rounds of bullet from the spot.

Both the bodies were sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue.
