Rapid Action Battalion
(Rab) declared the bounties in eight different packages ranging from Tk10,000 to Tk1 lakh to help trace the anarchists.On the other hand, police declared Tk5 lakh as reward for those who can provide information about those who set fire to the passenger bus in the capital's Jatrabari area on Friday night.
Just a year ago, law enforcers in 2013, also declared reward for the capture of the miscreants who unleashed violence but such announcement received hardly any response.
Director General of RAB Benazir Ahmed claimed that those who are involved in such crimes are hired goons.
"A group of people are hiring these criminals to perpetrate violence," he said while addressing the media at the battalion headquarters yesterday.
"Killing innocent people in the name of movement cannot be a way to do politics. Rather it should be considered a criminal offence."
None will be allowed to kill people by throwing petrol bombs, he cautioned.
The RAB boss further said those who would provide information about the miscreants involved in arson attacks will be reward with Tk1 lakh.
The same amount will also be given if anyone can help RAB catch petrol kaboomers red-handed.
Informants will receive Tk50,000 if they are able to give information on those planning crude kabooms. They will receive Tk25,000 if they can identify and trace miscreants from published or aired information in the news.
Furthermore, there is a Tk25,000 reward for anyone who can help catch a crude kaboomer on the spot and a Tk20,000 reward for anyone who can provide information on an attacker.
Moreover, anyone who can provide evidence through video or picture of an attacker carrying out arson or vandalism will be awarded Tk10,000.
