RAB finds more weapons at Satchharhi

More weapons have been unearthed at the Satchharhi reserve forest in Habiganj, Rapid Action Battalion has said.

This is the fourth time the elite force has traced weapons in the forest over the past five months.

They began searching the hillocks at Satchharhi on Thursday morning after receiving a tip-off from detectives, said Srimangal Camp Commander Capt Mosabbir Hossain of RAB-9.

“We found three machine guns, four machine-gun barrels, eight magazines and a high-powered radio after digging a hole in the hilly ground.”

He could not immediately provide details of the haul. The operation, he said, was still continuing on Thursday noon.
