when they came out of their chamber "Law Cornerstone" on Dhanmondi 27 of the capital around 11pm on Tuesday.

Shakila is the incumbent joint general secretary of the Supreme Court wing of pro-BNP Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Forum. She is the daughter of Wahidul Alam, a former BNP politician from Chittagong.

Members of Rapid Action Battalion 7 made the arrests with the help of RAB 2 and 4 based on information given by its members now in jug, and disclosed the matter before the media yesterday.

In April, RAB discovered the activities of Hamza Brigade after they detained four of its members along with 10 firearms including five AK47 rifles and a large cache of ammunition from a hill in Lotmoni area under Banshkhali upazila.

Since February 19 until June first week, RAB 7 detained 29 members of the outfit including its second-in-command, wing chiefs and arms suppliers in several drives.

Formed in 2013, it aimed at launching an armed revolution in greater Chittagong including the hill tracts to protest against the oppression of Moslems in Myanmar and across the world.

During a press briefing at the RAB 7 Headquarters in Patenga of Chittagong, its Commanding Officer Lt Col Mifta Uddin said that apart from the trio, a Dubai resident named Allama Libdi had also been financing the bad boy group.
