Suspected robber killed in ‘gunfight’

Staff Correspondent, Rajshahi: A suspected robber was killed in a ‘gunfight’ between robbers and members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in the district’s Charghat upazila early Friday.

The deceased could not be identified immediately.


Four RAB members were injured in the incident.

RAB members also recovered one pistol, some sharp weapons and bullets from the spot.
Deputy Commander of RAB-5 Major Ashraful Islam said some robbers were preparing to commit robbery in the area and a team of RAB conducted a raid. Sensing the presence of the elite force, the robbers opened fire on them prompting them to retaliate that triggered the gunfight.

After a brief gunfight, the RAB members arrested a robber as he suffered bullet wounds while the others managed to flee.

Later, he was taken to Charghat Upazila Health Complex where doctors declared him dead.
