According to law enforcers, the incident occurred around 3:30am on Saturday morning in the upazila’s Rajapur area.
RAB says the deceased, 45-year-old Tipu Sheikh, was a drug dealer.
He was accused in eight cases, which included drug-related charges, said RAB-12 Pabna Camp Commander Lt Commander Ruhul Amin.
RAB went on a raid in the area based on a report that drug dealers had gathered at a building of the Calico Cotton Mill in Rajapur.
“The drug dealers opened fire when RAB arrived, forcing them to retaliate. Tipu was recovered from the area in critical condition after the shootout and taken to Pabna Sadar Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.”
Two RAB personnel were injured in the gunfight, RAB official Ruhul Amin said.
RAB says it found a revolver, five rounds of ammunition and 770 yaba tablets at the scene.
