According to Times of India, the Kamtapur Liberation Organization (KLO) chief, Jibon Singha alias Timir Das, was reportedly arrested during a raid at a hotel in Jamalpur near capital Dhaka on July 9. "We have got in touch with the Bangladesh Government. After initial examination, there is a strong possibility that the person arrested is none other than KLO chief Jibon Singha," said a senior Police officer in Kolkata. According to sources, the Bangladesh Police were looking for suspects in the Chittagong arms smuggling case. The Indian external affairs ministry had passed on details about Jibon to Bangladesh Police after the KLO training camp in Bhutan was destroyed in a joint operation by the Indian Army and Royal Bhutan Army in 2003.

A military investigation found 3000 jawans’ (personnel) involvement in the Bangladesh Riffles (BDR) mutiny case, reports Daily Star. Military Intelligence recently completed screening around 8000 BDR jawans who were inside Pilkhana during the mutiny, sources said. Through the screening, 3,000 BDR jawans were found involved in criminal offences during the mutiny, including murder, looting, arson, and torture. Meanwhile, the chargesheet in the case might be submitted in mid-September by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). "We're working hard to submit the charge sheet by August, but it might not be possible as the task is quite huge," said a source in the CID which is tasked with investigating the case. A CID investigator said about 100 BDR troops might have been directly involved in the killings of army officers during the mutiny. The Investigation Officer of the case, CID's Senior Assistant Superintendent Abdul Kahar Akand said they arrested 1706 persons so far, most of whom are BDR jawans who were present at the headquarters during the mutiny, and 267 of them already gave confessional statements. In the aftermath of the mutiny, 40 cases were filed in 28 Districts outside the capital and a total of 1,721 BDR jawans were arrested on charges of mutiny outside the headquarters.

According to Daily Star, the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has been active in Bangladesh for the last 14 years, intelligence sources said quoting one of the most wanted Indian terrorists recently arrested in the capital Dhaka. Local leaders of the outfit have links to the network of absconding Indian underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim, and also to leaders of other Islamist militant outfits like the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B), sources added. The Detective Branch (DB) of Police on July 17 disclosed that they recently arrested an Indian national who is very close to the LeT, and is also one of the most wanted persons by the Indian law enforcing and intelligence agencies. Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner A.K.M. Shahidul Hoque said the arrestee has been identified as Mufti Obaidullah, who has been staying in Bangladesh since 1995. "He was arrested from the capital and was taking preparations for a jihad by organising Bangladeshi mujahids with directives from Ameer Reza, a leader of the Jammu and Kashmir based LeT, who is an Indian national now staying in Pakistan," the DMP Commissioner said. Obaidullah reportedly took part in the Afghan jihad four times and he was active in the militancy in India, in collaboration with militants from Pakistan and Afghanistan. He also collaborated with Islamist militants of Jammu and Kashmir, Varanasi, Punjab, and Hyderabad in India, said the DMP Commissioner, adding that Obaidullah came to Bangladesh to evade Indian intelligence after the Government of India in 1994 had declared him a most wanted person. Meanwhile, talking to reporters on July 17, Obaidullah, in detention, said he came to Bangladesh only to hide, and brought his family into the country later. He admitted that he is one of the most wanted persons in India, and said four other most wanted Indians are also hiding in Bangladesh. "In 1994, Indian commandos went to West Bengal from Delhi by helicopters to arrest me, but I managed to evade arrest and later left India," Obaidullah added. He also reportedly managed to get a Bangladeshi national identity card, and cast votes in several elections, Obaidullah said.

According to Daily Times, Dhaka Police on July 17 arrested a suspected militant in Dhaka, wanted by Indian authorities for 14 years. Mufti Sheikh Obaidullah (45), who had links with the Kashmir-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was arrested at a hideout in Dhaka, Police commissioner AKM Shahidul Haq told AFP. "He is a top Indian terror suspect and has been sought by Indian intelligence for many years. He came to Bangladesh in 1995 and has been teaching in different madrassas across the country," he said. "He was encouraging students to join jihad and we have information that he was training militants here," he added. Haq said Obaidullah was born in India’s West Bengal state and studied in the Deoband Madrassa in Uttar Pradesh state. He fought in the Afghan war alongside the Mujahideen against Soviet forces.

The Detective Branch (DB) of Police arrested a listed cadre of banned Islamist militant outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) from a house at Rasulpur in the Satkhira District town on July 17, reports Daily Star. The arrestee was identified as Hasanuzzaman Hasan, son of Maulana Mahfuzur Rahman of Tengra Bhabanipur village in Sadar Sub-District. DB sources said that Hasan went into hiding soon after the August 17 serial bomb blasts in 2005 and recently, he came to the area. Talking to journalists, Hasan said he was an active JMB cadre but later he left the outfit as his father had asked him to cut off all relations with militancy.

According to Daily Star, four senior Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants who are hiding in Bangladesh are also serving as teachers in different madrassas (seminaries) of the country providing their fake identities like detained Mufti Obaidullah, Detective Branch (DB) sources said. Of the four, Indian national Moulana Mansur Ali and Pakistani national Moulana Habibullah, are teachers of two madrassas in capital Dhaka while two others are outside the capital. Sources, however, refused to disclose the names of two other Indian fugitive militants. Meanwhile, the Police are also looking into whether Obaidulla had links to the August 21 grenade attack on an Awami League rally, and bomb attacks at Ramna Batamul and Udichi function in Jessore. DB sources said on the first day of his seven-day remand, Mufti Obaidullah confessed that the LeT and Asif Reza Commando Force (ARCF) expanded their networks through former militants who fought in Afghanistan and Jammu and Kashmir and also through the students of Deoband madrassa. Sources suspect that qawmi madrassas have a vital role in setting up of the network as these madrassas gave them shelter and teaching jobs by accepting fake identities. Besides, among the militant outfits active in the country, the Indian militants have closest links with leaders of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI-B), sources added.

Police arrested a Bangladeshi national with suspected links to the Pakistan-based outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) at Kamalnagar in Satkhira town in the night of July 22, reports Daily Star. The arrestee, identified as Muhaddis Obaidullah, was produced in a Satkhira court on July 23, which placed him on a 10-day Police remand for interrogation.

Moniruzzaman said. Muhaddis confessed to the Police that he had come in contact with Mufti Obaidullah while studying at the Sangu Madrassa (seminary) in India for a year.
