RAB is an elite force whose members are extracted from different law enforcing forces. So, comparing them with Rakhi Bahini is illogical.

Rakhi Bahini was created to undermine the national army and to suppress the opposition. Rakhi Bahini is infamous for its infliction of indescribable torture upon the ordinary people. This Bahini was trained by General Uban of Indian army and was used to consolidate Mujib's political power by rooting out oppositions.

On the other hand, RAB has been created to root out convicted criminals to bring about peace and tranquility in the society. This is a highly trained and well motivated force capable of handling any challenge. They go after those people who have criminal records in the police book and try and subdue them in the manner befitting the level of challenge they face. Thousands of innocent people are captive of these convicted criminals' unlawful activities. These bad guys resort to murder, extortion, and rape to spread terror in the society. If the police is not capable of handling these rotten elements, then RAB will have to do it to maintain peace and harmony in the society.

God fathers should be brought to justice to root out terrorism from the society once and for all. But this is a political decision. RAB cannot make this decision for the politicians. These God fathers are, unfortunately, our political leaders. So, the onus to end this God father-ism should be put on the highest political leaders not RAB.

RAB has been doing a super job within its limit. Yes, there are some instances where innocent people have been harassed but it was due to faulty intel. Even a country such as America is not always right in providing correct intel.
