Crossfire is a form of staged extrajudicial killings in Bangladesh, often used to refer to the death of a person by gunshot while under the custody of a law enforcement agency. In March 2010, the hitherto director-general of the country's counterterrorism force Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) stated that since the unit's foundation in 2004, 622 people had been killed by RAB. The Human Rights Watch has described RAB as a Bangladeshi government death squad.
