The Dhaka Metropolitan Police's (DMP) Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit claimed that it has arrested the Nayeb-e-Amir of the banned militant outfit Jama'atul Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya from capital’s Sayedabad area.
The person arrested was identified as Mohibullah alias "Bholar Shayekh."
Acting on a tip-off, a team of CTTC unit conducted a drive at Sayedabad bus terminal and arrested Mohibullah with two mobile phone sets and a laptop on Tuesday evening, CTTC unit chief Md Asaduzzaman said at a press briefing held at DMP media centre on Wednesday.
Asaduzzaman said Mohibullah used to deliver sermons and inspire members of the militant group after taking them into the hill districts.
The CTTC chief said that his major objective was to psychologically get the new recruits ready for "jihad" through misinterpreting religious scripture.
