 Members of the special taskforce for interrogation (TFI) cell yesterday started quizzing arrested JMB chief Shaikh Abdur Rahman and his second in command Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai. The TFI members discontinued interrogation them on March 26 on account of Independence Day and were served special food on the special day, sources said. "Happy Independence Day, boys! Too bad you're stuck here in Bangla's Bedbug Bonanza. Would you each like another cup of giggle juice?"
"Yessh, pleeesh." |
Both Shaikh and Bangla Bhai gave very little information to the TFI members, sources said and added, the TFI members yesterday interrogated them twice. According to sources, Bangla Bhai was more arrogant than Shaikh Abdur Rahman during interrogation by TFI cell. Bangla Bhai had disclosed some names and asked the TFI members to interrogate those persons, and said “You (TFI) will get more information from them about militancy.” They had disclosed some important clues during their first phase of remand, but now they have become tight-lipped, sources said. Following their confessional statements, the members of the special taskforce for interrogation (TFI) cell were now busy trying to round up the financers of the militant network, sources said.| Got the Head Cheese and the Hard Boy, now they need the money men. |
