The incident occurred in the Sharankhola Range area on Monday morning, said RAB-8 Deputy Captain Maj Sohel Rana Prince. The dead, Moktar Molla, was the second-in-command of local bandit leader Liton, the RAB official said citing locals. “RAB received a tip-off on the location of Liton and seven or eight of his accomplices and began the operation,” Prince told bdnews24.com. RAB later recovered a bullet-ridden corpse from the area.”A double-barrel gun, a single-barrel gun, a sawn-off rifle, two one-shooter guns, 16 pipeguns and 37 rounds of ammunition were recovered afterwards, the RAB official said. “It has been alleged that Liton has formed a gang and has been kidnapping people and holding them for ransom for close to two months now,” Prince said.
