Finally name of one of the top criminal officer with Rapid Action Battalion´s Unit-3 has been revealed through extensive investigations of our reporters, who led the armed hooliganism at the office of Weekly Blitz on March 18, 2008. According to facts, name of the officer is Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan, who was deputed to Rapid Action Battalion [RAB] from Ansar. Shafiqul is infamous for corruption, womanizing and alcoholism. He has turned into a millionaire in just couple of years by misusing his power being the Deputy Director of RAB-3.

It is also learnt that this man has created his personal cadres with RAB-3 for gathering information on rich people in the locality. Then he conspires in making a drama of operation at the residence of business establishment of that individual thus coming up with the story of recovery of illegal materials including drug. Once the drama is held successfully, the person concerned in taken to RAB-3 office in Dhaka´s busiest down-town area and heavy amount of money is demanded from him for saving his life from being killed in ´cross fire´. The gang has also included one Captain Shafiq, who so far killed more than 29 people in various excuses. It is further learnt that, once the person declines to pay the asked ransom to Shafiqul Huq Buiyan and his gang, he or she is sent to torture cell inside the RAB office and various methods of physical tortures are applied until he or she agrees to pay the money. Once failed to collect the money, the person concerned is sent to jail with allegation of possessing drug.

Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan has established close links with large number of hookers and pimps in the city and one Eliza is his concubine cum chief accomplish in all forms of illegal activities. Eliza and Shafiqul Huq made the conspiracy of staging armed hooliganism in the office of Weekly Blitz as one of the informers of this gang told them that a lavish office has been established at city´s posh commercial complex. Anticipating the newly established office as a potential place for their hooliganism and extortion, Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan and his fellow members made the conspiracy of abducting the owner of the company at gun point for collecting TK. 3 million as ransom. But the whole conspiracy went foiled when a number of Congressmen from the United States as well as US Correspondent of Weekly Blitz, Dr. Richard L Benkin intervened into the matter thus communicating their concern to the Bangladeshi interim government.

It is learnt that, Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan is also involved in dealing in drug [Yaba and other contraband items] as well as weapons. He maintains close links with a number of drug dealers in the locality. Moreover, arms dealings are carried thoruhg Shafiqul Huq´s female gangs.

The present interim government and even several influential military officials although are completely aware of the misdeeds of Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan, Captain Shafiq and other members with RAB-3, they are maintaining complete silence and are refraining from taking any actions against those culprits, as in most cases, RAB-3 men are used by the government itself in harassing political opponents. It is understood from several facts that Rapid Action Battalion is the worst instrument for the government in political repression of various people. Although the human rights reports observed decrease in cross fire or extra judicial killings by this organization, it is learnt from confirmed sources that, this organization is continuing secret killings in these days instead of cross fire.



Another unconfirmed source claims that, Shafiqul Huq Bhiyan has hands behind the murder of US citizen Frooq Ahmed. Pimp named Munni and her son terrorist Sizar are close aides of Shafiqul Huq for years. Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan used to visit the ´comfort houses´ run by Munni, where he was introduced to Farooq´s wife Mili. It is already reported in press that, Mili too was a hooker, working at the apartments run by Munni. Shafiq is secretly lobbying in favor of Mili, Munni and Sizar in salvaging them from the twin murder charges. It is further learnt that, Shafiqul Huq Bhiiyan met Munni and her son at a residential hotel at city´s Topkhana road area couple of days back, where Munni handed over TK. 500,000 to Shafiq as initial payment for saving them from the charges. Mili has also communicated a message to Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan that she will transfer the ownership of the apartment at city´s Banani area, once she and her accomplishes are cleared from the murder case.

Commenting on Captain Shafiq and his ´boss´ Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan, an official with RAB-3 on condition of anonymity told Weekly Blitz, "they are worst than the team of Assistant Commissioner Akram with Detective Branch, who are now in jail facing murder charges. Almost every evening Shafiqul Huq and his gang members are seen consuming alcoholic beverages right inside the Rapid Action Battalion office. Most of the females visiting these men are call girls or whores."

The source further said that, Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan maintains close relations with some of the top officials of Rapid Action Battalion and provides them monthly payment to safeguard his misdeeds and crimes.

Series of complaints were sent against atrocities of RAB-3 men especially Captain Shafiq and Shafiqul Huq Bhuiyan, including recent complaints sent from Weekly Blitz. Although some of the intelligence agencies began investigating the matter, the team of culprits in RAB-3 is trying to some how kill the investigation.

Rapid Action Battalion [RAB], the most notorious Para military forces in Bangladesh, is known for its atrocities through extra judicial killing, abduction, rape and collecting ransom. This organization has killed more than seven hundred people since it was established by the former BNP-Islamist coalition government. Although this special unit was formed to combat crime in the society, it has now turned into a state terror organization in Bangladesh.

Since the armed hooliganism and abduction by RAB-3 men at the office of Weekly Blitz, gang members of this ultra terror group is continuing to threat members of this newspaper of dire consequences, if the complaints lodged against their misdeeds are not withdrawn. Members of the newspaper are living in total horror since RAB´s atrocities are never investigated or any action against any of the notorieties is recorded yet.
