[Bangla Daily Star] Rapid Action Battalion on Friday locked away three alleged members of banned beturbanned goon outfit Hizb ut-Tahrir including two Buet students in front of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque on Friday.

The arrestees are Rashidul Islam alias Rana, 22, a 4th year student of electrical engineering and Ahmed Sajid Hasan, 22, a 3rd year student of civil engineering at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) and SM Arafat, 19, a 3rd year student of BBA at International University of Business Agriculture and Technology.

Producing them before newsmen at Rab-3 office in Tikatuli yesterday afternoon, Deputy Director of Rab-3 Chowdhury Md Hamid Al-Mahbub said they locked away the Hizb ut-Tahrir activists around 2:35pm while they were distributing leaflets containing anti-government statements.

The arrestees told news hounds that they were trying to motivate people through distributing leaflets to establish Khilafat and rule of Islam.

They did not disclose the names of their leaders and the source of leaflets.

The Rab official said they found some mobile phone numbers used by Hizb ut-Tahrir men and were trying to trace them.
