Dhaka/IBNS: The Rapid Action Battalion has said two of its members were hurt as suspected 'Rohingya gunmen' shot at them during an anti-drugs drive conducted in a refugee camp in Bangladesh's Cox’s Bazar area, media reports said on Tuesday.

The RAB personnel were conducting the operation on the Noyapara Muchni camp under Hnila union when they came under attack around 5pm on Monday, ASP Md Shah Alam, in-charge of RAB-15 Hoaikyong camp told bdnews24. 

The officer told the news portal that the team conducted the drive on information that yaba pills from Myanmar were stashed in the camp.

“Some Rohingya suddenly started firing their guns at the RAB members. When the RAB personnel retaliated, the Rohingya attackers fled to the hill while keeping the firing on,” he told the news portal.

The two deceased RAB members were identified as Mohammad Imran and Shahab Uddin.
