Tales from the RAB Gazette: Youth held with AK-47, LG in Chittagong
[DhakaTribune] RAB-7 conducted raid on a tip-off
Number 7 must be one of the early ones, unless they reorganized on some other basis after they headed toward the 30s...
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have arrested a youth with sophisticated weapons and ammunition
...no shutter gun and rounds of bullet for him, darn it!
from a rubber garden
... not sure what that is, but it sounds almost as suitably plebeian as a brickyard or a banana plantation...
in Raozan area of Chittagong.

The youth was identified as Syed Hossain alias Faruk, 30, son of Mohammad Belal Hossain Faruk,
...how far the family has fallen — from four names to two in a single generation...
of Charabattal area under Rangunia cop shoppe.
That can be found on the 1:2 map hidden in the false wall behind the final row of boxes in the dead file archive in the third Rangunia cop shoppe subbasement. Unfortunately, there is nowhere big enough to unfold it to see...
He was arrested during a raid conducted around 11pm on Sunday
...late enough for the good citizens of Chittagong to be in bed, though early for the miscreants..
on a tip-off,
*Ring, ring* “Mahmoud the Weasel’s fourth nephew twice removed here. Listen carefully — I will say this only once...”
RAB-7 Senior Assistant Director (Media)
Good lord — the RAB have gotten awfully professional and organized since the early days when the newest patrolman got to write up their adventures when done polishing the shutter gun and round of bullet before returning it to its lighted display shelf in the evidence locker, ready for when next called upon...
Mohammad Nurul Abshar confirmed to Dhaka Tribune on Monday.

At that time, an AK-47 rifle, one LG
...long gun?
Or 4K OLED TV?
and eight rounds of ammunition were recovered from him.
”Here — Farouk, right? Give me those before you hurt yourself!”
He tried to escape sensing the presence of the elite crime busters.
“...Spidey sense tingling... Must. Run. Away.”
*Trip* “Ow!”
“Got him, Sarge. There’s no escaping the RAB, young Farouk. We always get our miscreant, even those wanted in twelve systems and loved only by their mothers.”
The arrestee has been handed over to Raozan police.
I think I need to move to Bangladesh. I had no idea arrestee was a real word.

#2 *blush*You are kindness itself, dear magpie.I’m glad you got as much pleasure from reading as I did channelling RAB encounters of the past. I could feel Pappy, Shipman, and Dr. Steve looking over my shoulder as I typed.

#3 “Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, where the RAB always gets their man….”
Thank you TW. Had a serious RAB jonesing, thought maybe they got cancelled by some activist group.

#4 Just for my own amusement, I searched Rantburg’s archives for Rapid Action Battalion. I’d forgotten that Green Steve originated the art form — quite possibly this is the first one, back in 2005.
