Reasat shown arrested
A youth was shown arrested by Rab yesterday in a terrorism case a day after he had gone missing from the capital's Tejgaon area.
Reasat Elahi Chowdhury, 28, was an active member of Sarowar-Tamim group of JMB, claimed Lt Col Emranul Hasan, commanding officer of Rab-3 after disclosing his arrest.
The Rab official further claimed that Reasat was a close associate of alleged militant leader Imam Mehedi Hasan, who was arrested in the city's Banani area on September 21.
Rab showed him arrested in the case field with Banani Police Station under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
The militant leader Imam Mehedi disclosed his name during interrogation, said the Rab commanding officer. “We were looking for him and picked him up on Sunday morning.”
Meanwhile, a Dhaka court yesterday placed Reasat on three-day remand after he had been produced before it.
The family, however, did not believe his connection with militancy.
On Sunday, several unidentified men whisked the youth off from near Tejgaon Police Station around 9:00am.
His mother Syeda Hosne Jahan, a resident of Tejkunipara, filed a general diary (GD) with Tejgaon Police Station.
