Lt Col Anwar Latif Khan has been made the commanding officer (CO) of Rapid Action Battalion 11, several private television channels reported.
Previously, he had served as the CO of RAB 5.
On May 6, former commanding officer of RAB 11 Tareq Sayeed and two other officials were sent to forced retirement following allegations of their involvement in the abductions and killings of seven people in Narayanganj.
The RAB was formed in 2004 with the forces from six government law enforcement agencies — Bangladesh Police, Bangladesh Army, Bangladesh Navy, Bangladesh Air Forces, Border Guard Bangladesh and Ansar alongside civil forces for administration purposes.
