Mushfiqur Rahman (alias Mushfiq Martin alias ‘Jeni’) was arrested from his home in Dhaka’s Uttara on Wednesday morning, said RAB-10 Company Commander and Additional Superintendent of Police Mohiuddin Farooki.

Jeni was found in possession of many Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and remote control devices, RAB said.

“He was the Sarwar-Tamim Group’s IED expert,” said Mohiuddin Farooki.

According to RAB, Jeni joined BUET’s Computer Science Department in 2005, but has not completed his degree due to his involvement with militancy.

JMB members Wali Zaman and ‘Anwar’, who were arrested on Mar 20 in Dhaka’s Badda on a case of attempted violence, were Jeni’s classmates and associates, said RAB.

Jeni will be charged in the Badda case, said Mohiuddin Farooki.
