Daud brought to Dhaka for interrogation
[Bangla Daily Star] Detective Branch (DB) of Police yesterday brought detained Abdur Rauf Daud Merchant, a close aide to mafia don Daud Ibrahim, and his two accomplices to Dhaka from Brahmanbaria for interrogation. DB police said they are now trying to find out the motives behind his illegal entry into the country.
Snatch a few JMB operatives and ask them, they'll know ...
Rauf was sentenced to life in prison on April 29, 2002 for killing music baron Gulshan Kumar.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Monirul Islam of DB police told The Daily Star, "He has been accused of intrusion, possessing fake passports and posing security threats to the country."

DB police arrested another Indian national Kamal and Bangladeshi citizen Kamal Mia for sheltering him.

During primary interrogation, Rauf said he entered Bangladesh on May 2 after he was released on parole for 14 days on the grounds of his mother's illness.

Asked whether Rauf had any plan for subversive acts, Monirul said they would produce the arrestees before the court today with a prayer for their 10-day remand for interrogation.

Our Correspondent from Brahmanbaria adds: Sadar Police Station yesterday began to verify the fake one-stop passport of Daud Merchant and making preparation to file a case against him in this connection, sources said. Brahmanbaria Sadar Police Station officer-in-charge (OC) said that he had already received the passport-related file of Rauf.

Two months back, Muzahid introduced Abdur Rauf to Kamal. Since then Kamal had been working for them. It is Kamal who helped Rauf to secure a false passport, police sources said.

When contacted, Kamal's wife Ferdousy said, "We did not know that Muzahid and Samir (Abdur Rauf) were bad people. They often used to come to our house and stay for four to six days at a time. My husband helped them in car business.

"I treated them well. I could not understand all their conversations as they talked in Hindi," she added.
