Police have pressed charges against three suspected operatives of the banned militant outfit Neo-JMB for the connection with the deaths of four persons during an anti-terror operation at Atia Mahal in Sylhet in 2017.
Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) Inspector Abul Hossain submitted the charge-sheet at Sylhet’s Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court on Saturday, Reports our Sylhet Correspondent. The accused are: Jahirul Hoque Jashim, his wife ‘Arzina’ alias Razia and Md Hasan. They have been charged with inciting militancy, said Inspector Abul Hossain.
On March 24, 2017, law enforcement agencies uncovered a militant hideout located inside a five-storey building ‘Atia Mahal’ at Shibbari in South Surma.
Para-commandos subsequently stormed and neutralised the ‘militant den’ in a four-day raid called ‘Operation Twilight’ in which four suspected militants were killed.
A case was started over the incident with Moghlabazar Police by SI Suhel Ahmed with the PBI taking over the investigative duties later.
