Rab on the path of law & justice, claims its DG

Amid criticisms by rights groups both at home and aboard, Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) Mokhlesur Rahman Monday claimed his elite force is always on the path of law, justice and truth.
“Rab has transparency. It (Rab) does whatever it thinks is true. It’s always on the path of law, justice and truth,” he said, according to a news agency.
The Rab DG was talking to reporters after facing interrogation by the panel, formed by the Public Administration Ministry to probe the Narayanganj seven murders, at the Secretariat. The probe body interrogated Mokhlesur Rahman from 2:30pm to 4:30pm.
“The committee wanted to know about the incident (seven murders). I replied to their queries. I told them whatever is true,” he told the journalists.
Replying to a query as to what the probe body wanted to know from him, Mokhlesur Rahman said the matter is under investigation. “So, I can’t say anything in this regard.”
Asked about the allegation that the Rab headquarters is involved in the killings of seven people, including Narayanganj panel mayor Nazrul Islam and senior lawyer Chandan Kumar Sarker, the Rab DG parried the question, saying, “Rab is always on the path of law, justice and truth.”
Later, Shahjahan Ali Mollah, the chief of the probe committee, told the reporters that some Rab officials were found to be involved in the seven murders. “And some of them have already been arrested. That’s why we’ve interrogated the Rab DG. He told us whatever he knows.”
He also said the probe panel gave him some suggestions to stop the reoccurrence of such incidents.
Asked about the queries made to the Rab chief, the committee head said his statement will be included in the probe committee report.
