One man has been killed in an alleged shootout with elite police unit Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) at Gazipur.
The incident was reported from Gazipur’s Salna area in the early hours of Friday (Apr 18).
The deceased, who RAB claim is a member of an arms trafficking racket is yet to be identified. 
“A group was trading arms at Salna when a RAB patrol team, based on a tip-off reached the scene,” said RAB-1 chief Abdullah Al Mamun.
He added that they opened fire on the RAB members who fired back in self defence.
“At one point they escaped and the bullet-ridden body of the man was found,” said Mamun.
Mamun said that the body has been kept at Gazipur Shahid Tajuddin Medical College and Hospital morgue.
Two members of the patrol team Ujjal and Sanaullah were injured during the incident and have received medical care at the same hospital.
