KHULNA NEWS

Five alleged robbers were killed in a gunfight with a team of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at Morabhola Canal of Sundarbans on Friday.

Acting on a tip-off, a team of Rab-8 led by Major Sabbir Rahman Osmani conducted the drive at the canal under Sharankhola range of the mangrove forest around 9:00 am, reports our Bagerhat correspondent.

Sensing presence of Rab, a gang of robbers opened fire prompting the law enforcers to retaliate, said Major Sabbir.

After the gunfight, law enforcers searched the spot and found the bullet-hit bodies of five robbers whose identities could not be known immediately.

They also recovered 11 firearms including one pistol, one rifle, two airguns, two three-not-three rifles and five single-barrel guns
