Leaflets, posters seized from Dada Tapan’s house

Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) seized leaflets, posters, letters, books and other documents along with boots and belts of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-Janajuddha faction) from a house under Ishwardi upazila of the district early yesterday.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of Rab-12 led by company commander Flight Lieutenant Ahmed raided the house owned by slain Janajuddha faction leader Abdur Rashid Malitha allies Dada Tapan at Mushuriapara village at around 2:30am.
Dada Tapan, founder of Janajuddha faction of the outlawed PBCP, was killed in a shootout with Rab members at Baradi on the outskirts of Kushtia town early Wednesday.
Rab said the house was used as regional office of the underground outfit. They later sealed it.
Sources in the elite force said the documents seized from Tapan's house will help them get important information about the PBCP faction.
