The Rab members are Constable Regan Barua, Constable Abdul Matin and Sepoy Sainik Wahid and their informers are Moni Begum and Khuki Liza.

The elite force members were in uniform when they were picked up, said Assistant Superintendent of Police Mohitul Islam, who is now in charge of CPC-2 of Rab-11.
