The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has stated that there is currently no visible threat or fear of militant attacks in Bangladesh. However, necessary security measures have been taken considering potential risks. RAB-2 Commander Additional DIG Md Khalidul Haque Howlader shared this information at a press conference held at the RAB Media Centre in Karwan Bazar, Dhaka, on Tuesday morning.

He explained that RAB treats any potential threat seriously and has deployed patrols and intelligence surveillance around important installations, government offices, and public-interest buildings. On Monday, based on intelligence, RAB-2 arrested five armed suspects from Mohammadpur and Paltan areas, seizing firearms, ammunition, sharp weapons, and a large quantity of yaba tablets. A locally made shotgun and cartridge were also recovered from Mohammadpur the same night.

RAB has deployed 24 patrol teams across several Dhaka neighborhoods, including Mohammadpur, Adabor, Dhanmondi, New Market, and Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, to prevent criminal activity. The force continues joint operations with other law enforcement agencies and maintains ongoing anti-drug drives in Geneva Camp and surrounding areas.
