a drive at House-8 of Road-1/A in Uttara Sector-12 around 8:30am and arrested Mushfiq, said Commanding Officer of Rab-10 Md Jahangir Hossain Matabbar while briefing reporters at the Rab’s Karwan Bazar Media Centre.

The elite force made the arrest following information gleaned from 15 suspected militants who were arrested from different parts of Dhaka and its adjoining areas since March 16 last, Jahangir said. Mushfiq was shown arrested in a case filed with Badda Police Station on March 21 under the Anti-terrorism Act.
