Members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arrested a criminal with a foreign-made revolver, one-shooter gun, two bullets and a sharp knife from Kotwali Police Station area in the city yesterday.

Rab sources said the arrestee Liton, 28, was a member of 'Kamal Group' and accomplice of Shaheen who was arrested with firearms from the Mitford Hospital area on Friday while he was collecting tolls from a medicine market near Mitford Hospital.

Acting on his information, a team of Rab-10 conducted a raid in a house in Kotwali area at around 4:00am and arrested Liton.

Rab sources said legal action would soon be taken against the arrestee.
