Observer Online Report

The Special Response Battalion (SRB)-12 has recovered a large cache of domestic and foreign firearms, ammunition, magazines and walkie-talkie sets during a three-day operation in Sirajganj and Pabna districts.

The operations were conducted based on information provided by 65 members of the outlawed extremist group Sarbahara Party who surrendered to the SRB on November 1.

Additional DIG and SRB-12 Commander Atikur Rahman Mia disclosed the information at a press conference at the battalion headquarters in Salanga, Ullapara, Sirajganj, on Wednesday.

He said SRB members launched the operations on the night of November 1, following the surrender of the 65 extremist group members at the battalion office.

The three-day drives were conducted in different phases in Ullapara, Tarash and Salanga in Sirajganj, as well as Santhia and Ataikula in Pabna.

During the operations, the battalion recovered 103 domestic and foreign firearms, 1,136 rounds of live ammunition, 95 locally made weapons, 15 magazines and eight walkie-talkie sets.

Atikur Rahman Mia said the recovered firearms had been in the possession of the extremists, who had allegedly used them to carry out various criminal activities in different parts of Sirajganj and Pabna.

He added that the weapons were recovered based on information provided by the surrendered members.
