Eight people have been arrested from a printing press in Jamalpur with jihadist literature bearing a rather curious title.

Police found almost 500 copies of ‘Chandni Raater Premika’ – a collection of 58 jihadist poems, during a raid around noon on Thursday.
Md Lokman, Jamaat-e-Islami’s vice president for Jamalpur Ward-4, is the owner of Kashful Offset Printing Press in the Jamalpur’s Station Road area.
Lokman has been absconding ever since the raid, said Jamalpur Superintendant of Police (SP) Md Nizam Uddin at a press conference.
The title ‘Chandni Raater Premika’ roughly translates to ‘Lady Lover of a Moonlit Night’. The sexually charged title appears to be in conflict with the extremist claim about their rejection of so-called ‘unabashed’ women.
