Court Correspondent :
Farid Uddin Rumee, one of the members of “Neo-JMB” Cell, yesterday confessed that he and four others were involved in carrying out attacks on police in the capital in last five months.
He told the magistrate that they believe in Shariah based law and police are barriers for implementation of the law and that is
why they carried out the attacks on the law enforcers.
“I was motivated by my brother Rafiqul Islam, a leader of Neo-JMB for committing such offences” said Rumee, a teacher of Mechanical and Production Engineering in the capital’s Ahsanullah University.
Magistrate Ashek Imam of Dhaka CMM Court recorded his confessional statement at his chamber after Moklesur Rahman, a sub-inspector of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) Unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police and also Investigation Officer of the case, produced the accused. After recording his statement, the magistrate sent him to the jail.
The court also placed Mishuk Khan Mizan, a final-year engineering student of Narayanganj Polytechnic Institute on two-day fresh remand in the case.Earlier on September 23, two accused were arrested from the city’s Jatrabari area and Narayanganj district.
They were later shown arrested in a case filed over the Gulistan IED blast that left two traffic police constables and a community policeman injured on April 29. On September 24, they were placed on a four-day remand each for interrogation over the incidents.
Two persons, including a female police officer, were injured after an IED went off near a police pickup near Malibagh intersection on May 26. In another IED blast on August 31, two more policemen were injured at Science Laboratory intersection. Besides, IEDs were recovered from the capital’s Paltan and Khamarbari areas on July 24.
“We think the Islamic State (IS) was not behind those incidents. Five members of a Neo-JMB cell planned the attacks on police and made the Improvised Explosive Devices [IEDs] used in the attacks,” Monirul Islam, Chief of the CTTC unit, said at a press briefing at Dhaka Metropolitan Police Media Centre on September 24.
