The Detective Branch (DB) of police arrested another member of newly formed militant outfit Junud at-Tawheed Wal Khilafah from the capital’s Banani area early yesterday.
“Based on information, a team of DB police arrested Fida Muntasir Saker from the DOHS area, says Krishna Pada Roy, acting joint commissioner of DB police. Muntasir is the son of retired Navy commander Mohammad Saker.
One CPU, three laptops, three mobile sets, two hard disks, three mouses, two laptop chargers, one passport, different types of 21 Jihadi books and a screen shot of one to 82 pages of his Facebook friends list were recovered from his possessions, he said.
Krishna, also the joint commissioner (crime) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, says that Muntasir is the associate of Abdullah Al Ghalib arrested last week.
Muntasir works as a recruiter of international terrorist group Islamic State.
In interrogation, Muntasir confessed to have worked as IS Bangladesh correspondent and collected members for the outfit from across the country through online.
“Muntasir recruits members, give them training and shelter before they join the IS,” says Joint Commissioner Krishna while addressing a briefing at media and community center of the DMP.
Detectives, earlier, could trace the militant outfit Junud at-Tawheed Wal Khilafah followed by the arrest of its founder Galib on May 31 this year.
The outfit is shaping up its organisation in line with the strategies of international terrorist group Islamic State to establish caliphate in the country.
Galib told detectives that they had contacted ISIS through online and held meeting with 10 to 12 Ansarullah Bangla Team members to work out a plan for fresh IS recruits.
Based on Galib’s information detectives arrested Munsasir,” says Krishna Pada Roy, acting DB chief.
