Detained Lashkar-e-Taiba leader Indian national Emadullah alias Mahbub was taken on a four-day remand yesterday for quizzing by the Detective Branch of police.
Assistant Commissioner Sanwar Hossain of DB, who led the drive to nab the Taiba leader, said Mahbub was produced before the Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court seeking a remand for seven days but the court granted a four-day remand.
“We sought the remand for quizzing Emadullah to know whether any Bangladeshi people involved in their militant activities,” Sanwar said.
Emadullah, who has been staying in the country since last three years was arrested from the city’s Gabtoli on Wednesday night following confessional statements of two other top leaders and Indian nationals–Mufti Obaidullah alias Zafar and Maulana Monsur alias Habibullah who were arrested here in July.
A nephew of detained Monsur, Emadullah is a resident of Padmapukur village under Bagda Police Station of Uttar Chobbish Pargana district of West Bengal in India.
Earlier on Thursday DB officials said Emadullah became the Bangladesh chapter chief of Pakistan-based militant organisations Lashkar-e-Taiba and Harkatul Zihadia Islamia Azadia and Indian militant outfit Asif Reza Commando Force after the arrest of Obaidullah and Habibullah.
