Dhaka, October 31: Rapid Action Battalion Director General (DG) M Khursheed Hossain said, "We have investigated the allegations made against the US ban.

It is also the government's responsibility to lift the ban. Stating that action will be taken if anyone in the organization does illegal work, he said, RAB is steadfast in its policy. If someone commits a crime in the organization, action will be taken according to the rules of the organization. The investigation was carried out according to the list of 76 people named in the ban. The investigation report has been submitted to the appropriate authorities.
In response to another question, the RAB Director General said that the anti-terror operation is still going on in Bandarban's Gohin Hills. RAB will conduct raids not only in the forest, but wherever the terrorists are. RAB will be the name of fear for militants and terrorists.
