Police counter-terrorism unit chief Monirul Islam said they were going to dig out more information from Kashem during the remand. He was on his way to make a bKash transaction when he was detained, counter-terrorism unit chief Monirul Islam said at a press conference. Police have been granted seven days to question Kashem, who is believed to be the spiritual leader of the Neo-JMB. According to the RAB chief, Sarwar Jahan along with slain JMB leader Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury reorganised Neo-JMB, and Sarwar was made the leader of the organisation. After JMB leader Maulana Saidur Rahman was arrested in 2009, Kashem became the Amir of the group, Monirul said.
