A terrorist was killed in a shootout between his accomplices and RAB near Kamarpara area on Ashulia road yesterday.

The dead, identified as Mahbubur Rahman alias Bhuiyan Babu, was a top terror of Tongi area. Police said he was wanted in 11 cases, including three for murders.

A RAB team tried to stop a private car near the Munnu Gate area at about 2:00am.

"As the terrorists who were in the car tried to flee ignoring the signal RAB members chased them. At one stage the terrorists opened fire at them, forcing the law enforcers to fire back that triggered a gun battle," said a RAB official giving a spot account of the incident.

One pistol, one-shot gun and four cocktails were recovered from the scene.

When the terrorists left the scene leaving their car RAB members recovered the bullet-ridden body of Babu from the car.

The body was handed over to Tongi thana police.
