Deaths in anti-drug operations continue
as another killed in Feni
Another suspect has been killed in an alleged
gunfight with the Rapid Action Battalion or
RAB in Feni as the crackdown on drug
traffickers continues.
Senior ASP Mimtanur Rahaman told
bdnews24.com a RAB-7 patrol waved a car to
stop at a check post in Daudpool area around
11:15pm on Tuesday.
“The RAB personnel retaliated when the
people in the car opened fire without
responding to the signal. A person’s bullet-hit
body was found in the car later,” Mimtanur
claimed.
He identified the deceased as Md Faruk, 35,
who he said was ‘an infamous drug dealer’.
RAB found a gun, five rounds of bullets and
five bullet cases, and 22,000 yaba pills at the
scene.
RAB-7 in a text message said Faruk had many
cases against him on various charges,
including under narcotics control law.
At least 26 people have been killed in anti-
drug operations in past four days after Prime
minister Sheikh Hasina declared a ‘war on
drugs’.
