Bangla Bhai’s close aide held in Rajshahi
Police arrested a member of banned militant outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) from Bagmara upazila in Rajshahi yesterday.
Mostafizur Rahman Montu, 52, a close aide of executed JMB leader Siddikul Islam Bangla Bhai, was arrested from Hamirkutsa Bazar around 5:15pm yesterday, said Asaduzzaman, officer-in-charge of Bagmara Police Station.
He is an accused in a case filed with Bagmara Police Station under the Anti-terrorism Act early this year, the OC said. Montu is also wanted in two other cases including murder, in which he is enjoying bail, the police official said.
Besides, a Rajshahi court in 2007 sentenced Montu to five years’ of rigorous imprisonment in a kidnap and extortion case, the OC said adding that the case was filed in 2004.
However, he got bail from the High Court in the case later.
