| [Bangla Daily Star] Police arrested 24 members including two leaders of Allahar Dal, an Islamist outfit, in Rother Bazar village under Sadar upazila of the district yesterday. The arrestees were having a 'secret meeting' in the house of Haji Moinuddin, a member of the organisation, said Gaibandha Sadar thana police. Police also seized some books on Islamic revolution during the drive. The arrests were made following a tip-off from the villagers who objected to such meetings on every Saturday. During primary interrogation, the arrestees confessed that they are active members of the outfit and followers of Matin Mehdi, the kingpin of the organisation, now facing death sentence in a court verdict, police said. The Allahar Dal men will be produced before the court on Sunday with the prayer of a ten-day remand for each of them for further interrogation, said Gaibandha Superintendent of Police Mohammad Sahadat Hossain. Earlier, police arrested nine members of the outfit from Sadullapur and Gobindaganj upazilas last month. |
