The so-called IT Chief of the banned Jamaatul- Mujaheedin Bangladesh (JMB) and bomb expert Ekramul Haque Rajib and his accomplice Abu Bakkar Siddique alias Abu Hanif were taken on another five-day police remand on Sunday.

A team of Pllabi Police with the help of RAB produced them before the court of Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Syeda Minhajum Munira and prayed for 10 days police remand. The court after hearing the statement of the prosecution side granted five days police remand to each of them.

Rajib and Abu Hanif were earlier also taken on five-day police remand from Metropolitan Magistrate Court on June 23 last in the same case.

The RAB in a series of anti-fanatic operation arrested the IT Chief and his associate from Pallabi area. The RAB also recovered huge explosives, bomb manufacturing materials, jehadi books and leaflets from their possession.

The RAB later handed Rajib, a graduate engineer of Bangladesh University and Engineering and Technology (BUET) and Abu Hanif to Pollabi Thana.

Pollabi Police filed a case against them under recently revived Anti-Terrorism Act.
