A central leader of Islami Chhatra Shibir who was allegedly involved in the recent violence unleashed by Jamaat-Shibir men in Satkania upazila of Chittagong was arrested last night. 

Enamul Haque Enam, 25, president of Satkania upazila unit of Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, is also the prime accused in Jubo League activist Abdul Jabbar killing case, reports our Chittagong correspondent quoting Khaled Hossain, officer-in-charge (OC) of Satkania Police Station.

The Shibir leader was involved in almost all the incidents of violence including vandalism and arson attacks on vehicles on the Chittagong-Cox’s Bazar highway that was carried out following the announcement of the verdicts in war crimes cases.

Several cases were lodged with the police station against him.

Moreover, when the news of Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah's execution spread on December 10, two days before his execution, Jamaat-Shibir activists went on rampage in different areas of the upazila and he was one of the accuse in the case.

Acting on a tip off, Satkania police raided his residence in Bajaliya area of the upazila around 11:00pm yesterday and made the arrest, the OC said.
The Jamaat-Shibir men stabbed Jubo League activist Jabbar indiscriminately and ransacked his house after news of Mollah's execution spread on December 10.

Nine days after the attack, Jabbar succumbed to his injuries at a hospital in the port city.

Yamin Sumon, an assistant sub-inspector of Satkania Police Station, filed a murder case on December 21 with the police station after the killing.

So far, two Shibir men were arrested in connection of the case. On January 17, police arrested Shibir activist Jabed Jahangir at Kerani Hat of the upazila in connection with the case.
