Police on August 16
arrested a leader
of Kashmir separatist
militant group
Jaish-e-Mohammed
(JeM) and was
designated to
recruit Rohingyas
for the outfit,
reports The
Daily Star.
Acting on a tip
off, Detective
Branch of Police
arrested madrasa
teacher Moulana
Mohammad Yunus
(48), at Fakirerpool
in Dhaka. Police
claimed that Yunus
was one of the
“top-most leaders
of JeM's Bangladesh
chapter”. His
job was to recruit
Rohingyas and
locals of Cox's
Bazar for his
group and have
them carry out
JeM's activities
in Bangladesh.
Yunus had been
carrying out his
activity on the
instruction of
Saber Ahmmed,
ex-principal of
the madrasa, who
has been living
in Pakistan for
the last few years.
Financial support
for his activities
came from Pakistan

the boss of Yunus.
