Based on the stories published in different dailies, Odhikar said Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) killed 65 people in so-called 'crossfire' while police killed 13.

Acting together Rab and police killed three people in crossfire.

Five people were killed by the army and navy.

Expressing concern over the extra-judicial killings, Odhikar urged the caretaker government to set up an independent judicial inquiry committee to probe the killings.

A statement, signed by the Acting Director ASM Nasiruddin Elan, also urged the CG to ensure that no further extra-judicial killing takes place in the country.

Odhikar also expressed solidarity with flood victims, jute mill workers who have lost their jobs and who have been demanding their arrear wages, and the ethnic communities who are struggling to establish their rights in Bangladesh.
