Dhaka, July 13 -- The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has reported arresting over 7,500 people and recovering more than 500 weapons in multiple cases over the past 10 months following the fall of the Awami League government after the July-August mass uprising.

At a briefing held at RAB Media Centre in Dhaka's Karwan Bazar on Saturday, the elite force's Director General AKM Shahidur Rahman shared these figures and highlighted the force's recent activities and arrests made in high-profile cases.

He said two people were nabbed in connection with the grisly murder of a scrap trader outside Old Dhaka's Mitford Hospital.
