UNB, Narayanganj

Rapid Action Battalion handed over suspected top terror Hasan Ahmed Hasan to police yesterday, a day after he was arrested in Dhaka.

The battalion officials arrested him Thursday after his return from hideouts in India.

Hasan, 39, is listed by police as a top suspected criminal in Narayanganj area. He used to reign in Narayanganj as a leader of Jubo Dal, the youth wing of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. Badda police Friday received him from the battalion.

Police said the man was wanted in nine criminal cases, including murder and extortion.

A team of RAB-11, led by Captain Kazi Kawser Jahan, Thursday raided Kuril area under Badda Police Station after being informed that Hasan recently took shelter in the area on his return from India.

RAB said they had information that Hasan was on a mission to reorganise his criminal gang.
