The arrested Sholakia attack suspect has been shot dead in a ‘gunfight’ between Rapid Action Battalion and 'militants' in Mymensingh's Nandail, law enforcers say.

The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has released a list of 261 people missing from various parts of Bangladesh in recent times.

The Rapid Action Battalion has arrested five Rohingya refugees over the attack on a refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar in May , where an Ansar commander was killed and firearms were looted.

The Rapid Action Battalion had lent currency to the term ‘crossfire’ in Bangladesh soon after its formation over a decade ago, but police seem to have surpassed the elite force in killing ‘suspects’.
