Mastermind behind militant escape identified: CTTC Chief

The man who led the group in snatching two death row convicts and members of banned militant outfit Ansar al-Islam from Dhaka court premises using pepper spray on police members on Sunday has been identified, reports UNB.

Md Asaduzzaman, Chief of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) of Dhaka Metropolitan police told this at a press briefing on Monday

He said, “We got the name of the man and some of his associates. But will not disclose it for the sake of investigation.”

“We have received intelligence information on how the escape of those two militants was planned. Arresting them is our main target at the moment,” Asaduzzaman added.
