Rapid Action Battalion or RAB is an elite anti-crime and anti-terrorism unit of the Bangladesh Police. It consists of members of the Bangladesh Police, Bangladesh Army, Bangladesh Navy, Bangladesh Air Force, Border Guard Bangladesh and Bangladesh Ansar. It was formed on March 26, 2004, and commenced operations on April 14, 2004. Before RAB came into spotlight, there were so many terrorist groups in Bangladesh and they were becoming so much dangerous. Although the RAB has been successful in apprehending several high-profile terrorists, including the infamous Bangla Bhai, Amnesty International has accused RAB of numerous deaths, which have been attributed to crossfire. In March, 2010, the battalion leader claimed 622 were due to 'crossfire', while some human rights organizations claimed that more than 1,000 extrajudicial killings were the product of the battalion. Those human rights organization does not understand that Bangladesh's judicial was not good that time, there were so many lope-wholes and political influence that it was very hard to bring them all in justice even though they were well known terrorists. RAB is also successful against robber groups in remote area like Sundarban forest.
