RAB spokesperson Wing Commander M Z M Intekhab Chowdhury said that even if RAB is abolished and a new force is formed, the pending cases will remain ongoing.
He told journalists at the RAB Media Centre in Karwan Bazar on Thursday that the matter has been clarified in the draft of the proposed new law. Cases ongoing against members under RAB will not be stopped even if a new force is formed.

The RAB spokesperson said the new law is not just a change of name; it will bring major reforms in the force's structure and accountability. He expressed hope that the new law would create a ‘fresh start’ or new beginning opportunity for RAB.
