Assam: One suspected ABT member Arrested by police in Dhubri

Guwahati: One suspected member of Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) affiliated to al Qaeda has been detained by Assam Police from Dhubri district on May 2.

The suspected ABT member identified as Nazrul Islam, a resident of Sastar Ghat, P-III near the western side of Dhubri, close to Bangladesh International border.

According to initial reports, the ABT member was apprehended after receiving information from the earlier arrested alleged members of ABT on April 24, who were taken and held in police custody for questioning.

In the earlier case, authorities learned a clue when they found that the suspected jailed ABT members had a history of financial transactions with the prior arrested ABT members from Barpeta, Goalpara, Morigaon, Dhubri, etc., as well as other states of India.

”Police have doubts that the detainee may have connections with other active ABT members who are hiding out in other states of India,” said SP Dhubri while speaking on the arrested suspected ABT members.
