On March 2, security forces reportedly arrested the Jamaa'tul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) chief, Sheikh Abdur Rahman, from his hideout at East Shaplabagh in the Sylhet city after a siege of more than 24 hours.

According to Independent, the United States’ non-governmental organisation Peace Corps has decided to suspend indefinitely its programme in Bangladesh fearing attack on its volunteers by terrorists, after the arrest of five of the top seven leaders of the Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangaldesh (JMB). In a statement, the Peace Corps said that it made this decision following a careful assessment of Bangladesh’s prevailing security environment, and did not base its conclusions on any single threat or incident. "We have welcomed the capture of Abdur Rahman and Bangla Bhai of the Jamaatul Mujahidin as significant steps forward in the campaign against terrorism and extremism. Ironically, one consequence of that success is concern over possible reprisal attacks against Americans or other Western nationals by JMB activists still at large. The security situation in Bangladesh will be periodically reviewed to determine whether to end or continue the suspension", the statement added.

Bangladesh’s top Sharia-based commercial bank, Islami Bank, has denied it played a role in financing militants after regulators detected that funds had been transferred to suspicious accounts from its branches, according to Reuters. The Government has ordered a crackdown on sources of funding to thousands of Islamist militants, including members of two outlawed groups whose top leaders have been captured recently, in efforts to wipe out Islamist extremism in the country. The Islami Bank has come under the spotlight of the central bank’s anti-money laundering investigations, as it draws most of its capital from overseas Islamic institutions. "We do not support terrorist activities, and we don’t have any involvement with terror financing in any form," Abdur Raquib, Executive President of the Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited, told Reuters on March 21. The central bank had probed many of its accounts and the bank itself had conducted a separate investigation, he said. "We have suspended five employees including three branch managers and issued show cause notice to 15 others for their involvement in suspected transactions," Raquib added.
