One of the three suspected militants killed in Nakhalpara operation was identified on Sunday, reports UNB.

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in a mobile text message said the real name of Zahid is Mezbah Uddin, son of Enamul Haque and Tahmina Akhter of Comilla district.

The fingerprints of Zahid matched with notational identity (NID) database of Mezbah.

Earlier on Friday, members of the elite force cordoned off the militant hideout located at 13/1'Rubi Vila', a six-storey building in Nakhalpara.

At one stage, the militants opened fire and hurled a grenade at the RAB members, forcing them to retaliate.

During the exchange of gunshots, three militants including Zahid were killed and two RAB men sustained injuries.
