The elite force RAB never used bullets or lethal weapons on the students and people during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, claimed Lieutenant Colonel Munim Ferdous, director of its Legal and Media Wing.
“RAB expressed solidarity with the mass uprising. We are working to make the revolution successful,” he said.
Munim Ferdous made the claim while replying to a question from journalists at a press conference organized at RAB’s media center in the capital’s Karwan Bazar on Sunday.
“More than 90 police officers are accused. When asked if anyone in RAB has been made accused or not, he said that no member of RAB has fled. No member of RAB observed work abstention,” he said.
He said, “RAB has members from eight forces. About 44 percent of the 10,000 members are from the police force. RAB had no problem. RAB never used bullets of lethal weapons on students.”
