Pabna Correspondent:

Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) members seized 24 crude bombs and 4.5 kilogrammes of gunpowder from the house of a local Awami League member in Pabna’s Sadar upazila early on Thursday.

Rab-12 Commander and Squadron leader Eliyas Khan said that acting on a tip-off, a team conducted a raid at the house of Abdus Salam at Masimpur village late last night.

During the operation, the Rab members seized the crude bombs and the gunpowder from there. Two smoke bombs were seized from the house too.

Abdus Salam remains absconding since August 5 after the fall of AL regime, Rab Commander Eliyas said.

However, no one was found inside the house during the drive, he said.

A case was filed with Pabna Sadar Police Station today in this regard.
