A former officer of Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), Additional SP Alep Uddin, infamous for his role in extrajudicial killings, has been arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) on November 12. Known as a “target shooter” within his own force, he allegedly killed people in staged “crossfire” incidents while serving in Narayanganj’s RAB-11. Reports suggest he even framed innocent individuals as militants to justify executions. Disturbingly, he has been accused of repeatedly raping a detainee’s wife after blackmailing her with threats of crossfire. The victim ultimately lost her mental stability and died. Despite these allegations, Alep Uddin had previously received state honors. He was also involved in violently suppressing public protests during the recent mass uprising.
