The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB-4) has recovered an abandoned Pakistani-manufactured revolver and two rounds of ammunition from an under-construction washroom on the premises of a madrasa in Ashulia, Dhaka. The firearm and ammunition were seized during a drive conducted on Wednesday afternoon (17 June) at the madrasa located in the Sreepur Gonokbari area under the jurisdiction of Ashulia Police Station.
Background and Details of the Operation
According to sources within the elite force, a patrol team from the CPC-2, Navinagar Camp of RAB-4 conducted the raid based on precise intelligence.
