History[]

Railway Nirapatta Bahini was established in 1976 through the Railway Nirapatta Bahini Ordinance.[4] The Railway Nirapatta Bahini Ordinance of 1976 was repealed and replaced with an update ordinance in 2016.[5][6] In 2006, personnel of the Bahini were accused of extorting passengers in the Eastern Zone.[7]

As of 2013, Railway Nirapatta Bahini had about two thousand personal. It worked with Railway Police to ensure the safety and security of the rail system in Bangladesh.[8][9] In 2019, the 11th batch of the Railway Nirapatta Bahini graduated and completed their passing parade at Paksey, Pabna District.[10]
