A close aide of executed Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) leader Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai was arrested at Uttara area of Dhaka City on January 9, reports Daily Star.

Further, it has been reported that leaders and activists of banned JMB are trying to reorganise giving priority to collecting funds from their wellwishers and building communication with grassroots activists.

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on January 9 accepted formal charges against former Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) chief Ghulam Azam and its present chief Motiur Rahman Nizami for their alleged involvement in crimes against humanity during the Liberation War of 1971, reports Daily Star. ICT further directed Ghulam's chief counsel barrister Abdur Razzaq to produce the ex-JeI chief before it by 10:30am (January 10), or it will issue an arrest warrant against him. It also fixed February 12 for the hearing on charge framing against Nizami. The two JeI leaders have been charged with involvement in genocide, rape and arson during the Liberation War, the prosecutors said. The tribunal said it had examined the formal charges, probe reports and documents submitted by the prosecution, and primarily found proof that Ghulam and Nizami committed crimes against humanity in 1971.

Forty years after liberation, former Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) chief Ghulam Azam was sent to jail by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on January 11, on charges of committing crimes against humanity and peace, genocide and war crimes in 1971, reports Daily Star. ICT rejecting his petition for bail, ordered sending Azam to Dhaka Central Jail. The prosecution earlier on January 5 brought 62 specific charges against the former JeI chief. On January 9, the ICT accepted the charges and asked his counsel Abdur Razzaq, also a top JeI leader, to produce the ex-chief before the court by 10:30am on January 11. Otherwise, it warned, it would issue a warrant of arrest against Azam. Many considered the arrest to be a big challenge for the government given that JeI activists could let chaos loose over the issue.

The Bangladesh Army claimed to have foiled an attempt by some of its officers, apparently driven by religious considerations, to overthrow Sheikh Hasina's Government, reports The Times of India. Government sources here confirmed that those held for the attempted coup were "anti-India'' and wanted to undo the changes effected by the Hasina government in 2011 in the Constitution to make it more secular. Indian agencies have had inputs about a possible coup in Bangladesh for the past few days. Brigadier General Muhammed Masud Razzaq told a press conference in Dhaka on January 19 that the military had specific evidence that up to 16 current and former Bangladeshi officers were involved in the conspiracy. While two retired officers, Lieutenant Colonel Ehsan Yusuf and Major Zakir, have been arrested, some of the main conspirators are believed to be based abroad, said agency reports from Bangladesh. They are said to have links with the 2009 mutiny, only two months after Hasina took over, by Bangladesh Rifles which first exposed the stray extremist elements in the army.
