The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in a series of raids at village Noapara in Rawzan and the criminal dens in the city seized an AK-47 rifle and a smart collection of foreign wine.

According to the RAB sources a sophisticated arms AK-47 rifle was found while raiding the residence of an alleged arms smuggler Siddiqur Rahman. It was wrapped by polythene bag and kept under ground near his house.

The RAB men, however, could not arrest Siddiq as he fled away sensing the presence of elite force. In another drive the RAB men recovered 1498 bottles of foreign wine from city's Patenga beach, Karnaphuli, Double-mooring areas and a microbus parked behind the Hotel Saint Martin at Agragad.

None was arrested during the drives. Two separate cases were filed in connection with the incident.
