RAB 12 Company Commander ASP Beena Rani Das told the Dhaka Tribune: “Acting on a tip-off, we conducted a drive to catch a group of 15 robbers who were looting a rice mill in the area around 3:30am on Friday.”
“Sensing our presence, the robbers opened fire targeting us.”
In retaliation, RAB fired back that left two robbers dead on the spot.
She said the elite force also detained five wounded robbers with the help of locals and one of them died on way to hospital.
Besides, two rice-laden trucks were seized in the drive.
