Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), a military-dominated paramilitary force composed of armed forces and the police, held two cousins incommunicado for four days. The victims have been identified as Mr. Nahidul Haque Sazib and Mr. Kawsar Hossain Razib, who were arrested without any specific charge on 5 and 6 April 2011 in the evening on two separate occasions respectively from their neighbourhood in the city of Dhaka. The torture perpetrated by the RAB included beating, nailing and electrocution while in detention. The two victims were also taken in the open air in the early hours to kill in the pretext of "crossfire", which is the official form of extrajudicial killing the RAB is habituated of committing regularly since its inception. The victims were granted bail by the courts for their severe injuries as a result of torture.
