A RAB team conducted a raid after being tipped off about the presence of 'robbers' in the area, said Major Rabiul. When RAB personnel reached the spot, the robbers opened fire, forcing the elite force to retaliate, he said. "At one point, seven bodies with bullet wounds were found to be lying on the ground.
