RAB conducting robust patrolling to check sabotage: Shahidur Rahman 

AKM Shahidur Rahman, the director general (DG) of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), stated today that the force’s members are stepping up intelligence surveillance and patrolling vigorously while the vested quarters attempt to undermine law and order by attacking and sabotaging.

After examining the night patrol in the city’s Matuail neighborhood, he told reporters, “All the units of RAB are conducting robust patrolling alongside increasing intelligence surveillance across the country to ward off any sabotage and violence leading to destabilize the country.”

To suppress various crimes, robberies, snatching and thefts, RAB personnel along with other law enforcement agencies are conducting operations in different parts of the country to preserve the law and order situation, he added.

The RAB battalions are coordinating with other law enforcement agencies through their own control rooms and are monitoring the security situation in Dhaka and the entire country round the clock, he said.

He claimed that by establishing checkpoints and doing searches at different locations throughout the nation, security has been bolstered.

He added that the RAB Dog Squad and Bomb Disposal Unit have been prepared for any eventuality at all times.

According to him, since February 10, 2025, RAB troops have been carrying out “Operation Devil Hunt” in the capital and other regions of the nation to apprehend people who sow discord and enhance the state of law and order across the board.

RAB has so far arrested 180 suspected criminals, including 40 from the capital, 25 from Mymensingh, 24 from Rajshahi, 17 from Sylhet, and 15 from Narayanganj, and seized one single barrel shooter gun and one round of bullet from Rajshahi and one abandoned crude bomb from Sirajganj.

The force has also apprehended the kingpin of the notorious ‘Kobjikata Group’ of the capital’s Mohammadpur named Md. Anwar @ ShooterAnwar @ Kobjikata Anwar, top terrorist of Geneva Camp Bunia Sohel and top drug dealer of Geneva Camp Selim Ashrafi @ Chua Selim along with their associates.
