(RAB) has arrested a man with weapons and yaba pills.| Fondly known as the madness drug and Nazi speed, yaba is basically meth plus caffeine, primarily manufactured in Malaysia and distributed via Thailand. |
The arrested Abul Kashem alias Hashu, is a ringleader of "Hashu-Kashu Bahini" an organised crime gang.
| Once upon a time, back in 1971 when Bangladesh liberated itself from Pakistan, the bahinis were guerrilla groups fighting for the motherland. After they won, though, those that did not demobilize and return to civilian life turned bandit, and bandits they have been ever since. |
| ...a three-namer with a title that suggests the RAB is no long the free wheeling operation of its earlier days... |
He said a team of RAB 4 conducted a raid in the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area based on an intelligence information
| *Ring* *ring* “Mahmoud the Weasel here. Listen carefully — I will say this only once.” |
| Huh? It is the purpose of the RAB to take care of the worst cases, the ones the rickety, corrupt Bangladeshi justice system won’t. This historically has required a late night encounter shootout, followed by an accidental shooting precisely behind the ear. |
He extorted money from traders, industrialists, contractors, and even job seekers. He is also involved in drug business, said the RAB official.
| Clearly, given the yaba pills. |
