A court here on Sunday placed three suspected female militants, who were arrested during a police drive in a
hideout of militants in Azimpur on September 10, on a seven-day remand, each in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Nur Nabi passed the order when Ehsanul Haq, assistant police commissioner of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) produced them before the court with a 10-day
remand prayer. Those remanded were identified as Abedatul Fatema alias Khadiza, wife of slain militant Jamshed, Shaila Sharmin, wife of JMB leader Basharuzzaman and Afrin alias Priyoti, wife of JMB leader Nurul Islam Mazhar.
The specialized counter terrorism unit carried out a drive at a flat of a multi-storied building at Lalbagh Road, near Pilkhana Gate 2 on September 10 when five CTTC members were injured.
The law enforcers arrested the three alleged female militants from the spot on charge of assault on police and also recovered the body of ‘militant’ Jamshed and rescued three children, including 14-year-old boy Russel, from the spot. Delwar Hossain, sub-inspector of CTTC unit of DMP, filed the case against several suspected militants, including the three women, with Lalbagh Police Station on September 10.
