COXS BAZAR, Mar,14:  The Rapid Action Battalion on Thursday arrested four people with arms and ammunition during a raid at a settlement for Myanmars forcibly displaced Rohingya population in Coxs Bazars Ukhiya.

The arrested include the commander-in-chief of the Bangladesh chapter of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), an insurgent group from Myanmar, according to the RAB.

They were identified as Md Karimullah aka Master Kalimullah, 32, from Block M-33, Md Akij, 27, from Block-E-15 in Kutupalong Camp No.7, Mohammad Zobayer, 29, from Block-E-3 in Balukhali Rohingya Camp No. 13, and Saber Hossain aka Moulvi Saber, 35, from Block-B4 in Teknaf Rohingya Camp No. 22.

The arrests were made during a raid on Block-A5 of the Ghonarpara No. 20 Extension Camp around midnight on Thursday, said RAB-15 Coxs Bazar Battalion chief Col HA Sajjad Hossain.

Master Kalimullah is the leader of the ARSA Bangladesh chapter and also serves as the insurgent groups chief cashier. Md Akij was the bodyguard of ARSA chief Ataullaj Jununi. The others are active ARSA militants.

Acting on a tip-off, the RAB raided the groups hideout in Block A5 early on Thursday with the aim of nabbing its top commander and other armed insurgents, said Lt Col Sajjad.

"When the RAB reached the scene, the militants opened fire on them, prompting a retaliation from the law enforcers. As the assailants began fleeing, the RAB managed to arrest four of them."  The RAB also recovered a pistol, ammunition, and a hand bomb. Details about the raid will be provided at a press briefing later on Thursday, the officer said.
