A court here today placed two persons including a doctor on five-day remand each in a case lodged under Anti-Terrorism Act with the city’s Rampura Police Station.

The two accused are- Physician Shakir Bin Wali and Abrarul Haque. Metropolitan Magistrate Ahmed Humayun Kabir of Dhaka CMM Court passed the order after police produced the duo in the court and Investigation Officer and Inspector of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit SM Mizanur Rahman pleaded to place them on a 10-day remand each.

The CTTC arrested them for allegedly instigating youths, including seven in Cumilla who recently went missing after leaving their homes in the name of performing "hijrat", to join militants. They were allegedly collecting members for

the banned militant outfit Ansar Al-Islam, arranging military training for them, and helping them to perform “hijrat”. - Special Correspondent
