Intelligence Wing of the Rapid Action Battalion

The Intelligence Wing of the Rapid Action Battalion is the intelligence and covert operations branch of the Rapid Action Battalion, an elite counter-terrorism and serious crime unit under the Bangladesh Police. Established in 2005, the wing is responsible for gathering intelligence, conducting surveillance, interrogations, and supporting operational battalions in high-risk missions. It has played a key role in Bangladesh's counter-terrorism efforts but has faced significant criticism for alleged involvement in human rights abuses, including enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings.
