An alleged criminal was killed in a "gunfight" with Rapid Action Battalion in Tongi upazila of Gazipur last night.
The deceased -- Mohammad Hasan (30) -- was an accused in 15 cases including murders, drugs and police assault filed with different police stations, Morshedul Hasan, operations officer of Rab-1, told The Daily Star.
The "gunfight" happened around 8:30pm when Rab members conducted a raid near Hazi Mazhar Slum area after receiving information that criminals were taking preparation for unlawful activities there, the Rab official said.
