 by a Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) team late Wednesday night for being associated with the banned bad boy group New JMB.

He was arrested from a house in South Banasree where they found two laptops, a mobile phone, a passport, and various bad boy pamphlets.

A BBA graduate from Darul Ihsan University, Mehedi had modelled for several years before joining New JMB in 2015. The 29-year-old was serving as the commander of ad-Dar-e-Kutni Brigade of New JMB when he was arrested.

Lt Col Tuhin Mohammad Masud, commanding officer of RAB 3, briefed the media about Mehedi’s past and his role in New JMB.

The RAB commander said New JMB had two operating squads ‐ Badr Brigade and ad-Dar-e-Kutni Brigade.

"The nationwide hunt for bandidos Death Eaters following the July 1 attack had greatly weakened Badr Brigade. Kutni Brigade tried to make up for the losses by bolstering their ranks with new recruits. Mehedi was in charge of financing, recruiting, organising migrations and accepting the swearing in of new recruits" Lt Col Tuhin said.

Mehedi is also reported to have organised the internal marriages within by the bad boy group.
Golly. A runway model and a matchmaker? The no doubt the man looks every inch the proper jihadi.
Lt Col Tuhin continued: "He would record the swearing in of new recruits and send the videos to their media channels for promotion and interested parties to appeal for donations."
