On August 3, the Bangladesh Government initiated legal procedures to hand over Anup Chetia, the detained ‘general secretary’ of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) to India, said Home Minister Shahara Khatun, according to Daily Star. She stated, “We have to complete legal procedures to hand over Anup Chetia to India that requested deportation of its nationals kept in Bangladesh prisons. We also made a similar request to India”. Chetia, who was arrested on December 21, 1997 from a Mohammadpur house Dhaka, had been charged with intrusion into Bangladesh territory using a fake passport and illegal possession of currencies of 16 countries. A Dhaka court sentenced Chetia to seven years' imprisonment for committing the offences. On completion of his jail term, Chetia was kept in prison following a High Court directive in August, 2003 to keep him in safe custody until the government makes a decision regarding his application for political asylum in Bangladesh. Asking anonymity, a home ministry high-up said Chetia might be handed over to India before the Indian prime minister's visit to Bangladesh in September.

Law enforcers believe outlawed Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), which came to the limelight for its synchronised bombing across the country on August 17, 2005, has almost no strength left to carry out any subversive activities. The network of the militant outfit has totally collapsed with the arrests of its members of all tiers in massive crackdowns and its strength has almost waned, says Security Forces (SFs). However, they add that JMB still has its roots, but there is hardly any chance of rearing their heads since they are under strong vigilance. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Ziaul Ahsan, intelligence wing director of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), on August 16 said that the banned outfit has again started some activities in some Northern Districts including Rajshahi, Dinajpur and Thakurgaon. However, the activities are limited to recruitment of members and fund collection, he added.

The investigation into the August 21 Grenade Attacks of 2004 [on Awami League (AL) rally] by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Scotland Yard and the Interpol was merely an eyewash as the then Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) alliance Government did not provide necessary assistance and logistic supports to find out the real culprits, experts commented on August 21, according to The Financial Express. Brigadier General (Retd) Shahidul Anam Khan said, "During the BNP led four party alliances, the real picture was not presented regarding the grenade attacks". He further added, "The investigation was diverted towards a wrong direction in many ways. Political interference, which is usual in Bangladesh, was behind it”. About the visit of FBI, Scotland Yard and Interpol members to Bangladesh for assisting the then enquiry committee, General Anam said, "The foreign investigators were kept in the dark from the real clues".
