The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) is preparing an impartial list of extortionists across Bangladesh, including Dhaka, with plans to take swift legal action against all identified offenders once the list is finalized. The announcement was made by Wing Commander M Z M Intekhab Chowdhury, Director of RAB’s Legal and Media Wing, during a press briefing at the RAB Media Center in Karwan Bazar on Saturday afternoon.

The briefing, originally organized to discuss a major yaba seizure in Chattogram, also addressed the ongoing initiative to identify extortionists. According to RAB, the list is being compiled under directives from the Ministry of Home Affairs. Fifteen RAB battalions have already begun field operations and strengthened intelligence surveillance to ensure accuracy and neutrality. Officials emphasized that no one on the list will be exempt from legal consequences.

RAB stated that the list will be completely unbiased, with no favoritism or political influence, and that action will be taken strictly against proven offenders.
