 The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) detained an assistant teacher of Battali Shah Majidia Nurani Madrassa in Lohagara upazila here Thursday night in connection with bomb attacks on two local courts on October 3. Teacher Mohammad Asadullah was arrested following information given by Laltu Bepari and Shahadat Hossain who were caught red-handed on October 3 while hurling bombs at two local courts hiding the explosives in book covers.

Laltu and Shahadat, placed on a 10-day police remand the next day, were being sent Friday night to capital Dhaka for questioning by the joint interrogation cell (JIC). As per the statement of Asadullah, RAB members nabbed two other men—Abu Sadat Sayem alias Sayem Chowdhury from Rumaliachhara in Cox’s Bazar and Abu Raihan from Feni – on Thursday night. RAB sources said all the arrested are members of the JMB’s hit squads. RAB said Asadullah, a member of Nezam-e-Islam party, was engaged in militancy along with teaching for the last three years.
