The government is protecting the three former officers of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) accused of killing seven people at Narayanganj, BNP has alleged.
The three men were forced into retirement but they will continue to enjoy all privileges, claimed BNP Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi during a press brief at Naya Paltan on Wednesday.
“There is still no initiative to arrest them because one of them is son-in-law to a powerful minister. So they are being protected.”

Former RAB-11 Commander Lt Col Tarek Sayeed, Lt Commander NM Rana and Maj Arif Hossain stand accused of carrying out the murders of Ward Councillor Nazrul Islam and six others after being heavily bribed.
Sayeed is married to the daughter of Disaster Management Minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya.
The minister issued a statement using his official letterhead to say none in his family are involved with fugitive Ward Councillor Nur Hossain, Nazrul’s arch rival and the prime accused in the case filed by his family.
The High Court on Sunday ordered the immediate arrest of the three RAB officers but it is yet to be implemented.
“The government now uses RAB as a personal force to kill for them across the country,” said Rizvi.
