A criminal allegedly belonging to a gang of forest robbers was killed in a 'gunfight' with Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) in Dakatiya Canal area under Sharankhola Range of the Sundarbans in the district yesterday morning.

The 'gunfight' took place when alleged members of a notorious robber gang, locally known as Gariber Bondhu Bahini, fired gunshots at a patrol team of Rab in Dakatiya Canal area, Rab sources said.

 The 'gunfight' continued for about 45 minutes.

Later, the law enforcers searched the area and found a bullet-hit dead body and three firearms.
