Gulshan police said, Badshah went to a toilet inside the mosque with his auto-rifle but he did not return to his colleagues deployed at a checkpost in front of the mosque even after half an hour. The in-charge of the RAB checkpost Deputy Assistant Director (DAD) Abul Kashem and Sergeant Mizan went inside the mosque in search of Badshah at around 4.45pm. They found the dead body of the RAB man lying in the toilet with rifle.
The body was sent to the morgue of Dhaka Medical College Hospital for autopsy.
