Police have arrested six leaders of Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, with 11 crude bombs in Dhaka’s Arambagh area.

A team of Motijheel police arrested the Shibir leaders raiding a students’ mess in Arambagh area yesterday, Sheikh Mofizur Rahman, a sub-inspector of Motijheel Police Station, told The Daily Star today.
