| 2006-04-20 |
| Md Abdul Majid, a rokon (cadre) of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh also an executive member of the Dinajpur unit of the organisation confessed to Rab during primary interrogation that he is linked with outlawed Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). He was shown arrested on Tuesday and was sent to Dinajpur Jail to be taken into a remand. Sub-inspector Harunur Rahid yesterday produced Majid to a magistrate court in Dinajpur. The sub-inspector prayed for five days of remand but Magistrate Abu Taher Masud Rana granted three days. Officer-in-charge of Dinajpur Police Station Md Hamidur Rashid said Rab-5 officials handed Majid over to Dinajpur police Monday afternoon. Md Nur Mohammad, deputy assistant director of Rab-5, filed a case with Dinajpur Police Station accusing Majid of having link with JMB, police sources said. In the case it is mentioned that, Rapid Action Battalion-5 of Rangpur arrested Md Abdul Majid based on a confessional statement of Abdul Rashid Bin alias Bakul. During a remand Bakul said Majid had hosted several JMB regional meetings in his home and in his bookstall at Dinajpur station road in the past. Bakul was an active JMB member and carried out August 17 bombing in Dinajpur. Rab arrested Majid from his bookstall last Sunday afternoon. Majid is also the president of the editorial board of the Weekly Ajker Dinajpur, which is published locally. He was taken to Rab's temporary office at Shapla Square in Rangpur and interrogated. Rab had arrested Majid once earlier from a Rokon conference in Dinajpur last October in suspicion of his involvement with August 17 bomb blasts. Rab sources said Majid was released on a guarantee from one Aftab Uddin Mollah. |
