RMP employee held, 30 bullets seized
Staff Correspondent, Rajshahi
Members of the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) yesterday held an employee of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP) and seized 30 bullets of shotgun from him. The arrestee Abdul Aziz, a cook of RMP, was engaged in arms trading using the opportunities inside the police line. A team of plainclothes Rab members sent one Majedul Islam for buying the bullets at around 12:00 noon. As Aziz brought 30 bullets from his secret place inside the police line, Rab members caught him. They took him to their Rajshahi office and interrogated him for several hours. A Rab source told this correspondent that some senior police officials might have involvement in 'illegal arms trade'. He however could not confirm whether the seized bullets were smuggled or belong to government. "We are investigating," the source added. Rab is likely to handover the RMP cook to police and sue him in an arms peddling case with Rajpara Police Station by today.
