Ansar al-Islam militant remanded in DSA case

DHAKA, Sept 9, 2022 (BSS) - A court here today placed an alleged member of 
banned militant outfit Ansar al-Islam on one-day remand in a case lodged 
under Digital Security Act (DSA).

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ataullah passed the order as police produced 
the accused Md Rabbi before the court and pleaded to place him on seven-day 
remand.

A Cyber Intelligence team of the police arrested Rabbi on early Friday from 
Fatulla area of Narayanganj and seized a mobile phone and two SIM cards from 
his possession. 

"During our online monitoring, we identified a Facebook ID belonging to Rabbi 
calling for killing people who dishonours Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He was 
also maintaining contact between members of the militant group and 
propagating their extreme ideology," Assistant Commissioner of Police Amit 
Kumar Das said.
