Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Shafiqul Islam said the arrestees held on Monday evening included two assistant secretaries general of the war crimes-tainted political outfit. The arrested assistant secretaries general are Rafiqul Islam Khan and Hamidur Rahman Azad, said a member of Jamaat’s Majlish-e-Shura council. He said plainclothesmen surrounded and then detained the Jamaat leaders during a meeting at a home in Bashundhara. The DMP commissioner said the Jamaat leaders were meeting “secretly”. A number of Jamaat leaders and activists are behind bars for their alleged involvement in carrying out or planning acts of violence.
