The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) said pending legal cases against its current members will continue even as the government advances plans to replace the force with a police-run Special Response Battalion (SRB). At a press briefing at the RAB Media Centre in Karwan Bazar on Thursday, Legal and Media Wing Director Wing Commander MZM Entekhb Choudhury said the draft law for the new force preserves proceedings under the existing law.
He said no legal vacuum would arise from RAB’s organisational change because the draft’s final section addresses ongoing trials involving members under RAB. The proposed law has been opened for public opinion, and relevant authorities will consider suggestions and possible amendments. Choudhury said the proposal would redefine the force’s responsibilities, command structure, operations and member accountability, including action against wrongdoing or corruption.
RAB also reported solving the robbery of Tk 12.1 million from a DL Filling Station cash vehicle near Airport Road on August 9, recovering Tk 4.8 million and arresting three people. It said 12 people were detained over alleged extortion at Kamarpra fruit market in Turag, with Tk 11,220 recovered. Over the past month, RAB said it seized 104 weapons and arrested 60 people in operations nationwide.
