‘2 JMB groups active in Rangpur region’
[Dhaka Tribune] Two JMB bully boy groups are currently active in the eight districts of Rangpur division, carrying out at least 12 recent operations including the killing of Japanese citizen Kunio Hoshi, the region’s police DIG has said.Golam Farukh, the deputy inspector general of the Rangpur Range, told the Dhaka Tribune that bully boy outfit Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh was also behind the recent killing of a Hindu priest in Panchagarh and the attack on Dinajpur’s Kantaji temple. The two groups ‐ one based in Rangpur and the other in Dinajpur ‐ were working in smaller units of seven to eight members each; but they were also getting support from local sympathisers to carry out their operations. The information came out during interrogation of jugged Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! JMB bully boys, said DIG Farukh. So far, 39 JMB Lions of Islam have been arrested in connection with 12 separate attacks in the region including the murders of Hoshi and a Kaunia mazar Khadem named Rahmat Ali and the attempted murder of Baha’i leader Ruhul Islam. Charge sheets would soon be filed against the arrested men as the investigations were nearing their end, the DIG said, adding that efforts were on to detain some more suspects. The senior police official also said different units of law enforcement agencies were trying to identify the sympathisers and financiers of the JMB groups. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... Farukh added that the Rangpur region was currently out of any bully boy threat after JMB activity in the region became limited following the arrest of most of their killers.
