Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), in a drive, has arrested a member of banned Islamist militant outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (Huji) Mufti Zubayer Abdullah from Khilgaon area in the capital.
Being informed that some Huji members were staying in Khilgaon area concealing their whereabouts and planning to conduct subversive activities, a team of Rab-3 launched a drive in the area at 6pm on Monday and arrested Zubayer from a house, reports UNB.
Zubayer used various fake names, including Sazed Mohammed Foyez, Khairul Hasan and Noyan, to carry out organisational activities, the report said.
The RAB team also recovered some jihadi (religious uprising) books, various ID cards and militancy training pictures from his possession.
