Investigators have linked 23 of 34 Bangladeshis deported from Singapore to terrorism and militancy and are preparing to press charges against them. Cases have been filed against these men under the terrorism act at the Ramna and Uttara East police stations. They are identified as Mizanur Rahman alias Galib Hasan, Raha Miah Pilot, Alamgir Hossain, Tanzimul Islam and Masud Rana alias Sallu Khan. However, investigators said the suspects had told them they met each other in Singapore and had no connections while in Bangladesh. A senior CT unit official involved in the investigation who wished to remain anonymous told the Dhaka Tribune they had linked the 23 deportees to the terrorist group Ansarullah Bangla Team’s activities.
