The Rapid Action Battalion headquarters yesterday said publishing news reports implicating the elite force in seven murders in Narayanganj might influence the investigation process.
A number of probe bodies have been working on the abduction and murders. About the involvement of RAB, several investigation committees including one formed by the force are analysing evidence to unearth the mystery.
“Some media have been publishing news about RAB’s involvement in the incidents since April 27. As the investigation to confirm the involvement of RAB is underway, such kind of news will only influence the investigation process,” RAB said in a rejoinder issued yesterday on a news item of a Bangla newspaper.
RAB said such activities would bury the real mystery behind the incidents and the main accused would escape.
It would also create negative impact among the force’s personnel. As a result, the law and order of the country would deteriorate, and militancy and terrorism rise.
