| [Bangla Daily Star] Police tossed in the clink three suspected activists of outlawed Islamist outfit Hizb ut-Tahrir ...an international organization dedicated to reestablishment of the Caliphate. Coincidentally the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda and similar organizations... at the city's Shahi Eidgah yesterday afternoon. Acting on a tip-off, a team of Sylhet Kotwali Police Station, around 3:00pm went to an abandoned house where a group of 10-15 people gathered. Spider senses tingling at the proximity of the law enforcers, most of them decamped. The police could arrest Mahi Chowdhury, 20, of Tukerbazar in Sylhet sadar, Imran Hossain, 21, of Kakordi in Beanibazar upazila, and Zumman Chowdhury, 20, of the city's Kuarpar area. They all are students of class eleven of Madan Mohan College. Some leaflets with anti-government slogans were also recovered during the raid. A case was filed with Kotwali Police Station. The arrestees will be produced before the Judicial Magistrate's Court today, said police sources. |
