Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) members, in separate drives, arrested four taxicab hijackers and three muggers Monday midnight from the capital's Paltan and Motijheel police stations.

On a tip off that car hijacker Shahjahan, along with some of his accomplices gathered at Bijoynagar in Paltan and was planning to hijack a taxicab, a team of RAB-3 kept watch on the gang.

When they were fleeing after hijacking a taxicab the elite force members arrested Shahjahan, Foyez Islam Raju, Badrul Alam, and Rafiqul Islam, along with the hijacked taxicab after a chase. Later, the RAB men searched the cab and recovered four sharp weapons and some gold ornaments.

In another drive, RAB personnel arrested Kajol, Mithu, and Sabuj, from the capital's commercial hub Mothijheel for their alleged involvement in mugging.

A number of sharp weapons were also seized from their possession.

Separate cases were filed with Paltan and Mothijheel police stations in these connections.
