On the basis of such information, on 08/07/2010 at around 05 o'clock, a smart team of RAB led by him came to Nanglia Char to catch the terrorists. Sensing the presence of the RAB, the terrorists suddenly started firing. The RAB party under his leadership also fired back in self-defense and in defense of government property. The two sides exchanged fire for about 15 minutes. In the face of the brave resistance of the RAB, the terrorists could not survive and fled. Later, a gun with the bullet-riddled body of the notorious terrorist Abul Bashar Majhi was recovered from the spot.One shot was fired and four long sharp razors were recovered.

Model of upcoming Bangladesh Police Headquarters building. The largest Police Headquarters in South Asia.

Thanks to Metro Architects for the wonderful model.

Bangladesh Police is not only well equipped it will also have the finest facilities.

It does not stop there, the government is building ultra modern Police stations (thanas) and Police admin buildings across the country to enhance the law enforcement's services, capabilities and overall image as a smart, capable organisation.

Now DB can torture people in a skyscraper, unique experience.

If you live to tell the tale, that is.

What's the difference between CID and DB? CID has a separate HQ now in a 1970's bldg., but may move to the new HQ bldg. See - no name or signboard out front.

DB does the dirty work, think Bangladeshi Gestapo.

As it so happens, many dissidents and outspoken critics of the government have the unique experience of having 5 to 6 plainclothed men barge into their homes and offices, identify themselves as DB and then take the said unlucky sods on a ride.


Sometimes, they make it back in one piece, but more often than not, they're never seen or heard from ever again.


Meanwhile, the CID are exactly what they sound like and their work revolves around actually investigating relevant crimes, for instance they recently busted a dozen strong gang of Nigerian conmen based in Dhaka, who scammed people via Facebook in the name of friendship and 'gift giving'.

DB are almost always plainclothed, the only way to identify them is by the khaki colour vest with the words 'DB' embroidered in yellow, a vest they only wear during public events and such.


Recently, Nur, the student leader was also given the DB experience.

I am wondering now what the SPBn does? Too many different types of commando units. I know the there was a special commando unit (SS) protecting the PM, but that may not even be a part of the police, the SPBn probably took over that role.

By the way SPBN has been increasingly arming themselves with Taurus SMG's from Brazil. There is absolutely no reason we need to import these, we can make them locally, like they do in Pakistan.

Possibly deployed at the Airports, although there exist a separate detachment known as Airport Armed Police Battalion (APBn), I have only ever seen them at the Dhaka Airport, easy to spot from the Half Sleeve Maroon T-Shirt that they wear and their badge.

SPBn are probably the guys you see at the other airports, I've seen such armed and well trained mean looking fellas at CTG airport and they sure as hell aren't APBn.


The Bangladesh police is a very disorganized organisation, one look at it and you can tell, how everything is a Hodge podge of different obsolete forces created by some directive, only to never be disbanded.



The Taurus SMG is also used by the Counter Terrorism Units that have been set up in all metropolitan cities post 2016 Holey Artisan Tragedy.
