AK-22 rifle, ammo found in listed criminal’s house
Police yesterday recovered an AK-22 rifle and ammunition from the residence of a top listed terrorist in port city’s Bayezid Bostami area, after his arrest in Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
Sarwar alias Babla, is a known close associate of another “top terror” Nurunnabi alias Maxon. Sarwar and Maxon were arrested by police earlier in 2011 in possession with five firearms including an AK-22 rifle.
Parittran Talukdar, Assistant Commissioner (Bayezid Bostami) of Chattogram Metropolitan Police, said immigration police in Dhaka arrested Sarwar on Saturday, and he was brought to Chattogram later.
“Based on his confession, police conducted a drive in his house in Khandakia Para of Bayezid and seized 30 rounds of bullets and an AK-22, and a light gun along with its four cartridges,” he said.
Parittran said Sarwar fled to Qatar three years ago. A few days ago, he was arrested by police there over a fight, and sentenced to one month jail. After completing the punishment, he was sent back to Bangladesh.”
Police said Maxon and Sarwar, activists of Chhatra Shibir, had created a reign of terror in Chattogram through different crimes including extortion and murder. The duo reportedly control extortion from aboard through cohorts.
