A man has been killed in an alleged shootout with the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) at Badda’s Satarkul area of Dhaka.
The incident took place in the area early on Saturday, reports bdnews24.com.
The dead man has been identified as Roni Mia, 32. He was involved in drug trade, according to the RAB.
“A RAB team conducted an operation after receiving information that a gang of drugs traders had gathered at Satarkul area, Md Mizanur Rahman, assistant director of RAB, said.
“When RAB personnel reached the spot, the drug traders opened fire, forcing the law enforcers to retaliate. At one point, the criminals fled the area and a bullet-ridden body of Roni was found on the spot."
Roni was taken to a local hospital where doctors declared him dead, said Rahman.
The RAB recovered four guns and a massive amount of yaba tablets from the scene, he added.
