[Bangla Daily Star] Rapid Action Battalion yesterday tossed in the calaboose a man for giving shelter to the leader of a crime ring Morshed Jamaddar and unearthed a bunker used by the kingpin at Sonahar village of Banaripara upazila, said a Rab release.

A team of Rab-8 tossed in the calaboose Kazi Md Badsha Mia, 55, son of late Kazi Burjuk Ali of Sonahar village.

Earlier on March 23, a Rab team maimed 16-year old college student Limon Hossain by shooting in his left leg at Jamaddarhat in Rajapur upazila of Jhalakathi, taking the lad for a member of Morshed's gang.

The maiming incident drew widespread criticism around the country as rights bodies and general people alleged violation of human rights
...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you...
by the elite force members.

Badsha confessed to sheltering Morshed at his home for the last few days, but he (Morshed) decamped the scene sensing a raid, added the release.

Rab recovered some evidence including a mobile phone SIM card from the bunker.

Commanding Officer of Rab-8 Col Manirul Huq said their hunt for Morshed, an accused in 19 cases, was on.
