Railway Nirapatta Bahini (Bengali: রেলওয়ে নিরাপত্তা বাহিনী, lit. 'Railway Security Force') is a specialized security force under the state owned Bangladesh Railway responsible for providing security to railways and trains. It is under the Ministry of Railways. Md Fattah Bhuiyan is the Chief Commandant of Railway Nirapatta Bahini.

History

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 The Railway Nirapatta Bahini Ordinance of 1976 was repealed and replaced with an update ordinance in 2016.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

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